United Way Leeds & Grenville Urges Community Support to Reach 2024 Campaign Goal.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 20, 2024


United Way Leeds & Grenville (UWLG) Urges Community Support to Reach 2024 Campaign Goal. We are currently at 69% of our campaign goal and need your help to ensure critical services continue in 2025.


UWLG is calling on the community to come together and help us reach our 2024 fundraising campaign goal. The campaign ends on December 31st, and we need your help to ensure that over 20 vital programs across UWLG continue their important work into 2025.


As a community funded agency who receives no government funding, we play a crucial role in funding services that directly impact the most vulnerable members of our community. These programs include:



• Youth and senior meal programs

• Free income tax services

• Youth programming and mental health support

• Addictions services

• Subsidy programs for essential social services


Last year, we helped facilitate over 100,000 service provider interactions, and without continued donations, this vital work is at risk. Without these services, many in our community would face even greater inequities.


Every dollar counts. Every contribution helps.


The office is closed December 23rd to January 3rd. During this time, donations can be made online, by mail, or via email money transfer to accounting@uwlg.org. You can contact Hailie Jack, Executive Director over the holidays and expect a response within 24 hours.


We know that 2024 has been a challenging year for many and together, we can make a difference, so we are urging the community to open their hearts and give what they can. If 20,000 people across L&G gave $15, by December 31st we would reach our 2025 goal to ensure the sustainability of these vital programs can continue to operate in the new year. Your support is essential to helping our neighbors, friends, and family in L&G access the services they need to thrive.


Please make your contribution before December 31st. Thank you for your continued generosity and support.

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 .
