United Way Plans Port Huron Move
United Way of St. Clair County is preparing for a major change in Port Huron, selling its longtime Military Street building and moving this summer to a smaller shared space on Lapeer Road in Port Huron Township. Leaders say the move will cut costs and improve access, with bus service and closer ties to partner agencies. At the same time, the group is shifting focus to emergency help, providing direct support for residents facing shutoffs, housing issues, and disasters as more local families struggle to make ends meet.

Sarnia-Lambton Volunteers Needed
Residents in Sarnia-Lambton are being urged to step up and help neighbors battling cancer get to treatment.

Volunteers can choose flexible schedules, committing just a few weekdays each month, and mileage is reimbursed. Anyone interested can sign up online at volunteercancer.ca or email volunteer@cancer.ca to get involved.

Sensory-Friendly Safety Day
Port Huron police are inviting families to Pine Grove Park Saturday for a sensory-friendly event centered on autism and special needs awareness. It starts at 11 a.m., where officers, firefighters, EMS crews and tow truck drivers will give visitors a chance to meet first responders and explore emergency vehicles without loud lights or sirens. The event is designed to reduce fear and help responders better understand individual needs during emergencies. Attendees can also register for the Home Alert Program, which helps dispatchers notify officers when someone at a home may need specialized care.
