Your gift creates a brighter future for everyone.

Our communities are feeling overwhelmed.

There are many complex problems people in our region are facing: the housing crisis, post-pandemic educational gaps, a rise in opioid addictions, skyrocketing costs of living, global conflicts, and growing economic disparity.

More people than ever are reaching out to social and community services to make ends meet.

There’s so much that needs fixing that it can be difficult to know where to begin.

You can tackle homelessness, mental health and addictions, social isolation, and poverty. All with one donation.

We know the toughest problems are deeply intertwined. We cannot fix one issue without considering the others, and no one can take on these challenges alone.

The power of United Way East Ontario lies in our big-picture approach.

We bring together caring communities to address all facets of these big challenges, so we can empower people to overcome them in meaningful and sustainable ways.

With you alongside us, we can ensure more people get the support they need, when they need it. United, we have the power to make a difference.

We’ve set a bold goal to build stronger communities.

We are changing local lives

We are all connected. We shine brighter together. When you support United Way, you not only impact one person’s life, you contribute to a current that connects us all.

As social challenges persist across our region, we’re finding new ways to make positive changes in the lives of those who need us most. Meet the people whose lives were changed thanks to donors like you.

When someone's going through a tough time, it has ripple effects for all of us.

Difficulties can arise from financial hardship, health challenges, or emotional struggles. When one person is affected, our whole community feels the impact.

This Giving Tuesday, help us address these struggles. Together, we can nurture resilient and supportive communities where everyone can thrive.
