Together, we can create long-lasting change.

We’ve come so far, but the most vulnerable people still need your support. Your gift to United Way East Ontario will keep our communities strong. 

The demand for vital services is at an all-time high. Chronic issues like isolation, mental health, and poverty have worsened since 2020. 

Local kids still need help catching up in school. Isolated seniors feel intense loneliness, and caregivers are suffering from burnout. There are countless people struggling with their mental health looking for somewhere to turn. And the cost of living just keeps rising. 

When you donate to United Way, your generous gift will:
  • Expand early learning, after-school, and summer programs for vulnerable children and youth.

  • Help isolated seniors stay connected with remote and in-person day programs.

  • Ensure people in crisis can easily get immediate mental health support wherever they are—via phone, text, or online.

With your support, we can make an impact.

United Way East Ontario knows what the most immediate needs are, and each day, we work with our partners and supporters to have the greatest impact.

Your donation is in good hands.
