No young person chooses to be homeless.

This holiday season, Donate to United Way East Ontario to help vulnerable youth find the safety and comfort of home.

Your gift can:

Help advocate for safe housing for everyone.
Empower youth through after-school programs and mental health counselling.
Power social enterprises that provide youth experiencing homelessness with a steady job.

Everyone deserves a place to call home.

Together, we can shut the door to chronic homelessness.

Your donation will be matched by TD* to help fuel measurable, 100% local change across East Ontario.

Our minimum online donation amount is $5.00.

Make your gift go further. Give monthly. Automatically give each month, and make an even bigger impact on the issues you care about. You can change or stop your monthly giving at any time.
