Healthy People, Strong Communities

We know that people are healthy when they are connected to their neighbours and to their community. And we also know those communities are vibrant and strong when they have programs and services that reflect their unique needs. To help people live healthy lives in strong communities we invest in agencies such as STRIDE that helps people with mental illness find meaningful work opportunities and SENACA Seniors Day Program which provides a caring and nurturing environment for isolated seniors and disabled adults.

All That Kids Can Be

Having a healthy start in life and a good education means a brighter future for kids. Your commitment to United Way is creating opportunities for kids to be all that they can be. Opportunities that are nurtured through agencies such as Oakville Parent-Child Centre that gives parents the help they need to put their kids on the right path, or Community Youth Programs that provides kids with a home when they have nowhere else to go.

From Poverty to Possibility

When you are working multiple jobs to make ends meet or are unable to feed your family – it’s hard to build a better life when you’re living in poverty. So we invest your support in helping people move out of poverty and into a life of opportunity through programs such as Food for Life Canada, who provide surplus food from wholesalers and retailers and distributes it to community outreach programs and housing developments.
