As a national charity deeply connected to our local communities, we are committed to the principles of Truth and Reconciliation. On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to reflect on the history and enduring impact of residential schools on Indigenous peoples.

Let us listen to their stories, honour their resilience, and dedicate ourselves to fostering healing and reconciliation. #EveryChildMatters #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay

Spot the difference 👀➡️ sometimes even our numbers get a little too excited at Campaign Launch! A misplaced comma gave us a laugh this morning, but make no mistake - our really goal is no joke.
✨United Way Peterborough and District is proud to announce our 2025-26 Campaign goal: $1.6 MILLION!
These dollars will fuel essential programs across the City and County of Peterborough, supporting food security, housing, mental health, education and MUCH more!
Together, we are building community and changing lives ❤️.
