United Way Leeds & Grenville (UWLG) announced it raised $808,843.26 in its 2024 campaign, thanks to the generosity of donors, volunteers, and community partners. The funds will support critical initiatives in housing, homelessness, food security, mental health, addiction services, and youth programs.
Despite economic challenges, including inflation and an extended postal strike, UWLG saw strong community support. “We are so thankful that our donors recognized the essential role United Way plays in meeting the needs of so many throughout Leeds and Grenville,” said UWLG Chair Ian McFall. “We set an incredibly ambitious goal and, while we did not quite get there, we are thrilled with the community’s response.”
Looking ahead, UWLG is entering a new phase of strategic planning to strengthen its financial foundation. Executive Director Hailie Jack emphasized the agency’s commitment to sustainability through enhanced communication, community events, partnerships, and new revenue streams.
“Our dedication to making a lasting, positive change remains as strong as ever,” said Jack. “We are more committed than ever to helping those who need it most.”
