At the United Way of Brandon & District we have a variety of initiatives that centre around the same theme: Kindness. We aim to do one thing: Ensure that everyone feels like a valued member of our community.

For more information on our initiatives please email community@brandonuw.ca or call 204-571-8929.

Day of Caring

This community-wide United Way event demonstrates the power of volunteering. It is a unique opportunity for employees, students, and other groups to come together and make a difference in our community by taking part in meaningful volunteer projects with local community organizations.

Tasks could include anything from painting, landscaping and gardening, to serving meals, sorting donations or event assistance. These are projects that our local agencies many not have the time, resources or staff to accomplish on their own. Volunteers learn about their community through a hands-on experience while meaningful projects are completed for agencies.

If you have a group that would like to get involved in Day of Caring let us know! We’d love to match you up with a project that suits your needs.

Random Acts of Kindness

Once a year we try to organize and engage our community to promote acts of kindness throughout the city within a single day.  A simple gesture goes a long way, saying good morning to someone, holding the door for someone, or even offering to help someone carry a heavy load.  Ideally we would like this idea to carry forward throughout the year.

Organizing a team to engage others is a great way to show your support to your community.  We are always available to help with ideas and suggestions to get you started.

Giving Tuesday

This is a Canadian movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Cyber Monday. The “Opening day of the giving season,” is a day where charities, companies and individuals join together to share commitments, rally for favourite causes and think about others. For more information on this initiative check out their website at GivingTuesday.ca

Help us meet our goal and share the message on social media by using #GivingTuesdayCA and #UWBdn.
