Investing in Community

Your Leadership changes lives.

Leadership donors have the power to be instruments of change. They inspire others and create hope for tomorrow.

To help quickly recover from the many social, economic, and emotional effects of the pandemic, we need community members willing to lead the way.

With a donation of $1,200 or more, our Leadership level donors are ready to drive change, willing to set a powerful example and become part of the solution to our community’s complex social issues. Our Leaders are passionate about leaving their mark on Peterborough & District by creating lasting change.

At United Way Peterborough & District, we take pride in our ongoing ability to adapt and respond effectively to the evolving needs of the communities we serve. Annually, we honor individuals who demonstrate exceptional dedication, leadership, and support, enabling us to sustain our vital assistance to those in our communities who depend on us. Their commendable contributions are celebrated and acknowledged in our ANNUAL REPORT with utmost gratitude.

For more information on ways to give, contact Rhonda Gilchrist

United Way Peterborough & Distirct has been running Coats for Community for many years, and every year our community shows up with generosity and heart ❤️.

For the past two years, this program has been run in collaboration with our friends @path_ptbo (Peterborough Action for Tiny Homes).

This video shares a glimpse into how this long-standing program has evolved over the years.

If you’re able, we’re encouraging community members to donate warm winter items to support our neighbours facing the cold months ahead. Blankets, and men’s coats size L - XL are urgently needed at the moment, but every donation helps.

📍Drop off: 385 Lansdowne St E
🗓️ When: Wednesday (10-3) and Saturdays (9-3)
