Today is a bittersweet day for all staff at United Way Peterborough & District as we say “see you soon” to our Senior Director of Impact and Communications, Betsy MacDonald, who is heading off on maternity leave. She will be missed!

We’re so excited for her as she steps into this new chapter, and we know she’s going to be an amazing mom.

Please help us wish Betsy well - “change starts here”❤️.

Looking for a meaningful way to say thank you to an outstanding educator in our community this year?
Celebrate them with a “Good Apple” 🍎 certificate of appreciation, a gift that gives back! Instead of (or in addition to) the usual mug or gift card, your donation supports United Way Peterborough & District’s Backpacks for Success 2025 campaign, helping to ensure that local students start the school year with the age-appropriate supplies that they need to thrive.
❤️ It’s a feel-good way to say thanks and invest in a stronger and healthy community.
📍 Certificates are customized, printed, framed, and ready for pick-up at our office: 277 Stewart Street, Peterborough.
📩 Learn more and reserve your certificate at the link in our bio.

Happy Pride Month! This June, we celebrate the love, joy and remarkable resilience of the LGBTQI2S+ community. Despite the obstacles they face daily, from discrimination to lack of access to vital resources, their resilience is truly inspiring.

At United Way Peterborough & District, we envision a world where everyone can live authentically and without fear. We are proud to support initiatives that uplift and empower queer Canadians.

Menstruation is a natural part of life, yet the subject is still taboo for so many.

On this Menstrual Hygiene Day, we want to highlight the importance of equitable access to menstrual products and to break the stigma around menstruation.

Your menstrual health matters. Let’s break the taboo and create an inclusive supportive community.
