August 26, 2024


Media Advisory United Way & 3M Canada Host Heartwarming Harvest Lunches, launching September 12th Lunch aims to provide 2,000 lunches to neighbours in need


Brockville, ON.


As dedicated advocates for community well-being, 3M Canada and United Way Leeds & Grenville are excited to announce the upcoming series of 3M Harvest Lunch events, initiatives aimed at providing a wholesome meal to those experiencing food insecurity within our community.


From September 12th to October 3rd, the 3M Harvest Lunch Team will work with several United Way agencies to host events across Leeds & Grenville to serve and deliver lunches provided by local businesses. As we embrace the bountiful harvest season, we recognize the importance of coming together to support our neighbours and the 3M Harvest Lunch is a heartfelt effort to provide nourishing food, foster connections, and raise awareness about food insecurity.


We are asking our community to show their local love and purchase a meal: Every $10 ticket sold buys a meal for a neighbour in need in Leeds & Grenville. Tickets can be purchased as a single, a family or in a pack of 10 meals. Visit our square site to purchase today: https://united-way-leeds-grenville.square.site/

Note: a tax receipt will be provided.


We extend our gratitude to our event partners for their generous support in making this event possible. Together, we can sow the seeds of change and cultivate a more nourished and connected community. Your local love maximizes the impact of the dedicated volunteers, local businesses, and community members who make the 3M Harvest Lunch a positive impact.

Planning Responsibly for the Future

By Tanya Noyes • January 29, 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Leeds & Grenville, ON - United Way Leeds & Grenville Exploring Sale of Current Building as Part of Long-Term Sustainability Planning United Way Leeds & Grenville (UWLG) is exploring the sale of its current building as part of a broader effort to ensure long-term financial sustainability and continued community impact. United Way Leeds & Grenville emphasizes that it is not closing and not leaving the community. As part of this process, UWLG will be issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for local realtors to support the sale of the building. Once a realtor is selected, the organization will take thoughtful, measured steps toward identifying a new space that aligns with its operational needs and mission. “This decision is about being good stewards of our resources,” said Hailie Jack Executive Director. “Our commitment to the people of Leeds & Grenville remains unchanged. We will continue to operate locally and invest in programs and services that support our community’s most pressing needs.” There will be no disruption to United Way’s programs, funding, or services because of this decision. Staff will remain in place, and community partners and donors can expect continuity throughout the transition. United Way Leeds & Grenville will share updates as the process moves forward and remains committed to transparency every step of the way.

United Way Leeds & Grenville Asks Community to Help Carry Hope Across the Finish Line

By Tanya Noyes • December 16, 2025
Leeds & Grenville, ON - United Way Leeds & Grenville Asks Community to Help Carry Hope Across the Finish Line As 2025 draws to a close, United Way Leeds & Grenville is pausing to say thank you. Because of the generosity of donors, volunteers, workplaces, and partners, hundreds of local programs and services were supported this year — helping families access food, supporting children and youth, keeping seniors connected, and strengthening mental health and addiction supports across Leeds & Grenville. “We have seen the very best of our community this year,” said Hailie Jack, Executive Director of United Way Leeds & Grenville. “And we are so close to reaching our campaign goal.” With the finish line in sight, United Way is asking those who can consider making a gift — or an additional gift — to help close the remaining gap. Reaching the $900,000 goal will provide stability for local agencies and ensure vital supports are in place as we head into 2026, a year many know will continue to bring real challenges for individuals and families. “This final stretch matters,” added Jack. “It means local programs can plan with confidence, frontline staff can continue their work, and people who rely on these services know their community has not forgotten them.” Every contribution, no matter the size, helps turn uncertainty into stability and compassion into action. Community members are invited to help carry this momentum forward and ensure help is there when it’s needed most. Donations can be made online at uwlg.org , in person at 42 George Street , or by phone at 613-342-8889 .
