from your support of United Way.

When you support United Way, you're supporting programs and strategies that offer young people an alternative to the streets, help families achieve financial independence, and improve neighbourhood health and personal well-being. Together, we are building a stronger, safer, healthier Winnipeg for everyone who lives here.

What does United Way do?

United Way ensures an essential network of programs and services by providing support to nearly 100 agency partners. Each plays a vital role in our overall strategy to ensure lasting, positive change by addressing the underlying causes of our city's most challenging social issues.

Every year, thousands of volunteers and committed Winnipeggers raise millions of dollars that are invested back into the community. Donations support programs and partnerships that inspire lasting change, better lives, and a safer, stronger Winnipeg for all of us.
