About This Cause
United Way Peterborough & District inspires people from all walks of life to come together to raise funds, volunteer and stimulate policy and attitude changes that lead to the improvement of people’s quality of life in the City and County of Peterborough. For the past 80 years United Way Peterborough & District has grown to service more than 60,000 people in our local communities. Our work consists of extensive research to identify the social issues in our community that need attention to make a better life for all. We lead and facilitate conversations on these issues, and we have powerful partnerships with businesses, government, and donors. Through this process, we’re able to invest community donations where they will have the most impact to build a stronger and healthier community for us all. With generous investment from our community, United Way focuses on local programs and collaborations that tackle big problems and create change in the key areas which focus on helping individuals and families move from a life of poverty to one full of possibilities, and building strong healthy communities. Your donation supports a network of agencies that provide vital programs to thousands of people in the region – single parents, victims of domestic violence, families, vulnerable youth, the elderly, those with disabilities and those experiencing homelessness. These programs support local residents, helping them when they need it the most. Our partner agencies include: Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Peterborough Canadian Mental Health Assoc.
