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

Happy Family Day!

Today, we celebrate the love, support, and strength that families bring to our communities.

This year, we’ve investing in parenting supports for new and expecting parents, building strong and healthy communities where children, families and you can thrive.

Every act of care helps build stronger, more connected neighbourhoods 🏠.
For 1 in 4 Canadians who menstruate, period products aren't always in the budget. You can help address period poverty in our community by contributing to our Period Promise campaign.

This year, we're sharing our running total by item type on our website [link in bio], so you can see what we have, and what we still need, as we aim to offer a greater diversity of product to residents experiencing period poverty. - We're also accepting monetary donations, which will allow us to purchase items in bulk.

Product donations will be accepted at the United Way office (277 Stewart Street), Monday-Friday, 9AM-5PM until Friday March 13. [Please note: We are closed February 16 for Family Day, and February 26 for Peterborough Performs and will not be present to accept drop offs.] 

If you’d like to get more involved with our 2026 Period Promise campaign, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team! We’d be happy to help you setup a collection at your workplace, share educational resources, or chat about any other ideas you may have.
