Why Support United Way?
United Way changes people’s lives for the better by tackling pressing social issues in your community.
Show Your Local Love!
Do you love where you live? Do you want to make this community even stronger? Show your local love.
Our local communities all face the same challenges: homelessness and child vulnerability—poverty, in all its forms. Local love is about local people doing good locally, showing their commitment to the long-term vitality of this place we call home.
Your donation helps United Way tackle tough social issues by:
- researching conditions,
- building coalitions that are more effective than one player or funder working alone,
- and directing donated dollars to help some of our most vulnerable neighbours.
See how your local love can change lives.
