Mission Statement
As a locally run United Way we are not going to solve all the issues related to poverty here in Lunenburg County or rural Nova Scotia. But as a locally funded organization we can and do help provide new opportunities and a better quality of life for many people living in or on the edge of poverty. All money raised in Lunenburg County stays in Lunenburg County
About This Cause
People today are constantly being asked to contribute their hard earned money to help various organizations both near and far and this is certainly no different here in Lunenburg County. What most donors desire is to be able to put a hand on something and say, I made this happen or my contribution bought this or I actually made a difference. This is what happens when you contribute to the United Way of Lunenburg County, because the money we raise here stays here and the people we are helping and the projects we are building and the important programs we are funding are right here in your neighbourhood, in your own backyard. This makes the United Way of Lunenburg County one of the best investments you can make in your community. Investing in your own community provides dividends that are immediate, the results verifiable and noticeable. The United Way of Lunenburg County operates the following programs; Bikes for Kids. Distributes 3,000 FREE swimming / skating passes to the LCLC for low income kids and their families. - Free Skates to Borrow at the LCLC - Free used equipment exchanges - Free IPhones for vulnerable people - Free IPhones for Nursing Homes as part of a music program using ITunes, Apple Music - Plow it Forward where we encourage able bodied people to help our less able bodied seniors with their snow shoveling. The United Way of Lunenburg County takes a long-term and consistent approach to Lunenburg County based programing. This funding is based on in-depth knowledge of the local community including the various connections between the many local non-profits and government agencies. We know who the Board of Directors are, have access to their complete financial information and detailed information about their program(s). This allows us to get the biggest bang for each donor dollar we invest. We invest in great organizations like; - Better Together Family Resource Centre - Big Brothers Big Sisters - Bridgewater Senior Wheels - Chester Community Wheels - Employment Solutions - Lunenburg County Adult Learning Network - Fox Point Community Centre - Freeman House - Harbour House - PRO Kids - St Vincent de Paul - Second Story Women's Centre - Senior Safety Coordinator - YMCA Youth Programs - 211 And many others.
