What We Do

We accept donations on behalf of all registered charities and distribute key local funding through our donor-supported Community Fund.

Each year, the Community Fund is distributed to local organizations to run programs that make daily life better for people in our community. In addition we processed thousands of donations on behalf of other registered Canadian Charities.

United Way Funding Priorities

Poverty To Possibility

Poverty is a far-reaching, complex issue, and a lasting one. Once in the cycle of poverty, it is extremely difficult to overcome and can affect future generations. United Way is committed to ensuring access to immediate support for families and individuals.

Healthy People, Strong Communities

The focus of healthy people, strong communities is to engage and mobilize residents to take collective action to improve access to, and increase the availability of resources needed to revitalize and strengthen neighborhoods.

All That Kids Can Be

Children and youth are the future of our communities. To become successful, independent adults, children and youth need a good start in life, access to early literacy and development programs, positive school experiences during the middle years and to graduate from high school.
