Have your voice heard! Join a community conversation event near you

What does the future hold for your community?

United Way Leeds & Grenville is inviting you to join a Community Conversation in which a small group of people come together to get to know one another, by talking about issues that are of the personal priority and concern to each participant.


What are your hopes for the future?

What are the most significant social challenges in your community?

What are the strengths within your community?

Do you see ways we could improve our community’s wellbeing together?


United Way Leeds & Grenville be hosting the event. We’ll be following the well-planned Community Conversations guidelines that focus on finding common ground to ensure lively yet respectful conversation.


The purpose is not to debate any particular issue but rather to be open and curious about all perspectives and see what we learn from one another.


We're hosting these conversations in municipalities and virtually.

Halfway There: United Way Leeds & Grenville Hits 50% of $900,000 Goal—But the Work Isn’t Done Behind every dollar raised is a story. A child who now has a safe place to go after school. A senior who no longer feels alone. A family who can put food on the table tonight. United Way Leeds & Grenville (UWLG) is proud to share that, thanks to the compassion of our community, we’ve reached 50% of our $900,000 fundraising goal. That’s $450,000 raised—and $450,000 to go. “This milestone is more than a number,” said Pamela Robertson, Cabinet Member at UWLG. “It’s a reflection of the kindness, generosity, and belief in one another that defines Leeds & Grenville. But we’re only halfway to ensuring that every person in our region has the support they need to thrive.” Now, we’re asking: will you help carry us the rest of the way? Every gift —no matter the size— has the power to change a life. Whether it’s a warm meal, a safe shelter, or a listening ear, your support helps deliver hope where it’s needed most. The finish line is in sight, but we can’t cross it without you. Join us, be part of the solution. Every dollar counts, and together, we can make a real, lasting impact.
