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 8 nonprofit organizations in the Portage la Prairie community.

We are happy to support the following organizations:

• Portage Learning and Literacy Center

• Canadian Mental Health Association Central Region

• Child & Family Services of Central Manitoba

• Portage la Prairie Bear Clan

• Family Resource Centre

• Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Plains

• Portage Service for Seniors

• Sunset Palliative Care
