Day of Caring

June 14th, 2024 8:00AM - 3:00PM

Open Call for Volunteer Projects!

United Way Peterborough & District is committed to creating positive change in our community and we  appreciate the important work that all of our local not for profit agencies do to support our mission of building a strong, vibrant and equitable community for us all.  Our Day of Caring will be about supporting local agencies in completing projects that will enhance their agencies or initiatives.

If you are a local not for profit that has a small odd jobs like, organizing a storage room, painting a fence, or planting flowers or a larger scale initiative that can be completed by a group of volunteers, we would like to invite you to submit your tasks or projects  by saving the “2024 Day of Caring Project Submission Form found HERE to your desktop and emailing completed to Sara Mountenay.

We can’t wait to help your organization through our 2024 Day of Caring volunteer initiative! ❤️

It’s with a profound sadness that United Way Peterborough and District, staff, Board of Directors, and Campaign Cabinet remember and celebrate the life and legacy of Ann Farquharson. 
 
Ann was a dedicated member of our Campaign Cabinet - a community builder with admirable determination. Her legacy spans decades of dedicated civic leadership, and her impact is woven into every corner of our community. We will miss Ann’s voice in our community, and around our tables. 
 
To her family, many friends, and colleagues: we offer our deepest condolences. To our United Way community: we pledge to honour her memory by continuing the work that she so believed in. 
 
Thank you, Ann.
