United Way works to create opportunities for everyone by engaging people from all walks of life and inspiring action to help build a better community.

It is based on the simple belief that we are stronger together and have a bigger impact than we ever could alone.

Through an effective annual fundraising campaign, United Way maximizes available financial resources to enable our funded nonprofit organizations to improve our community’s quality of life. Through the use of volunteers from the Advisory Committee and local community members, United Way distributes funds to meet current and ever changing human care needs within our community.

United Way fundraising campaign raises enough funds to provide support to 9 different nonprofit organizations in the Central Plains catchment area.

We are happy to support the following organizations:

• Big Brothers Big Sisters

• Canadian Mental Health Association – Central Region

• Child and Family Services Foundation’s Chance 2 Camp Program

• Compassionate Friends

• Portage Family Abuse Prevention Centre

• Portage Learning and Literacy Centre
