Each year provincial employees in the Ontario Public Service participate in the United Way Campaign. Together, the United Way is moving people from poverty to possibility, helping kids be all they can be and building strong and healthy communities.

At the core of what we do is fundraising. Once needs are identified, funding must be secured to ensure that programming is undertaken. Whether providing shelter for women or children, or counselling for those who need employment training, or help in returning to school, or support for single parents, support programming is best utilized when it is local, and freely available. The United Way conducts our annual campaign so that a great diversity of need may be addressed with a single effort. This ensures great economies and efficiencies, and provides the maximum amount of funding for programming.

A key component of our commitment to donors is the assurance that their dollars will be utilized in the most effective and efficient fashion possible. We will be utilizing donations in our online auction as well as raffle baskets to raise as much as we can during the campaign.
