We deeply appreciate the generous support for Huron House, from financial donations to the valuable time and expertise shared, and even the thoughtful gestures of those who add a little extra to their weekly shopping to donate to us. Such contributions are essential, covering our daily needs and expenses, and ensuring that our mission to support youth mental health in the Sarnia-Lambton community can endure for the future.
Financial Donations
At Huron House, we are dedicated to providing youth and their families with compassionate support, guidance, and effective therapeutic programs. Despite operating with limited resources, our commitment and the hard work of our program delivery and administrative teams remain unwavering. While we do receive government funding, it falls short of fully covering our needs. Therefore, we depend on the generosity of our donors to sustain and enhance our efforts in supporting youth mental health in the Sarnia-Lambton community. Your financial contribution truly makes a difference.
Attend an Event
Every year, Huron House hosts two major fundraising events — the Pasta Fest at the Dante Club and the Run/Walk/Bike event at Mike Weir Park. These gatherings are not just about raising funds; they’re about community, fun, and supporting a vital cause. Whether you can attend both or just one, your participation helps us continue our mission. Please consider joining us at these events to aid in our fundraising efforts for supporting youth mental health and wellbeing in the Sarnia-Lambton area. Your support makes all the difference.

Advocacy
Children in Ontario are waiting too long for the mental health services they need. Right now, there are 30,000 children and youth from across Ontario on wait lists for mental health care. In some parts of the province, children and youth wait up to 2.5 years for mental health services.
We are proud members of Children’s Mental Health Ontario and supporters of their #kidscantwait campaign. For more information on how you can lend your voice to support youth mental health, visit cmho.org.
