Children and youth are the future of our community. In order for our children and youth to become independent and successful adults they need a strong healthy foundation early in life. With guidance and nurture, we can help discover their passion. Children and youth excel when they are given opportunities to succeed.

When our children and youth are taken care of, we all benefit. We are the help today for a better future tomorrow. 

Poverty is a far reaching, complex issue that is no stranger to Brandon. Poverty very easily becomes a vicious cycle that ends up continuing for many generations to come.

At United Way, we invest in several programs that help individuals stabilize, avoid and move out of the poverty cycle. We work with agencies to provide them with employment and skills development opportunities, affordable housing and transportation, and access to food and emergency shelters.

It is important to realize we could all be one step away from living in poverty.

The focus of building a stronger community is working with the individuals in our community to ensure a stronger, safer place for everyone to live. The United Way of Brandon & District engages community members to improve access and availability to resources, such as social and health-related support services.

We are working towards an equal, diverse and inclusive community of all walks of life. When we feel safe and secure in our own neighbourhoods we all come together as a stronger community.
