Let’s help kids reach their full potential.
This holiday, your donation to United Way East Ontario ensures kids have access to spaces where they can learn, make friends, and have fun.

Many kids are having a hard time keeping up in school. In low-income and rural communities, it can be hard to get stable internet, reliable transportation, and affordable after-school programs–causing a sharp divide between youth in different communities.
Your support will:
- Improve access to after-school programs, homework clubs, and summer camps for kids in low-income neighbourhoods.
- Ensure parents and their kids get mental health and substance use counselling when they need it.
- Provide youth and families facing homelessness with education, personal, and employment supports.
- Strengthen youth mentorship and peer support programs.

Your gift will be DOUBLED until December 31.
Thanks to our generous sponsor TD, holiday donations will be matched* to fuel measurable, lasting change.
