For the past 47 years, United Way has been steadfast in its support for Northumberland’s residents. The organization is the largest non-governmental funder of locally-based health and social services in our community and across the county.
Our initial years were spent raising funds and disbursing them to local agencies. In the past 25 years, United Way has evolved to do so much more. Our United Way is proactive in its approach to collaborate with community partners and all levels of government to address the issues our communities face: poverty, housing, homelessness, food security, mental health, changing demographics, and transportation, just to name a few.
Over the last 10 years, we have been on the Journey to Community Impact that has transformed the organization and set a new direction for the future. We are proud to have been recognized with United Way of Canada’s President’s Award for Innovation and the Northumberland Central Chamber of Commerce Not-for-Profit Business Achievement Award for the work we do in collaboration with other United Ways and in our community.
Our goal in 2015 was to improve 24,000 lives locally. We did this and more thanks to the generosity of our donors and the tremendous work of our community partners and volunteers. Thank you one and all.
In closing, we want to take a moment to thank the Board of Directors, campaign team led by Paul and Joan Macklin, the individuals in our community who joined as committee members, and to the staff of United Way. Your oversight, input, and dedication is to be commended.
Together, we continue to live our mission to create a better life for everyone in Northumberland.
Thank you
