A strong, supported, resilient city benefits all of us. United Way of Burlington & Greater Hamilton has a profound impact on our community by investing in a network of social service agencies that deliver critical, prevention-based programs and services. No other organization has the same depth, reach and history of making such a profound difference in the lives of others.
We partner with the community – school boards, governments, academia, unions, business leaders, neighbourhood residents and funders – to ensure there is coordinated, collaborative action in developing local solutions.
Despite our unique differences, we all share certain requirements for a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, income that can support ourselves and our families through to retirement, personal well-being and a safe, supportive and thriving community.
Each day, in almost every corner of our community, United Way funded programs and services are at work helping Burlington and Hamilton resident achieve success in three main areas:
• Moving people from poverty to possibility
• Building strong communities
• Helping kids be all that they can be
There’s a role for everyone to play. Together, we can accomplish so much more than we ever could alone. Together, we are possibility.
