We are continuously impressed by the @peterboroughpolice in their ability to go above and beyond in improving lives and building a strong community for everyone. This #thankyouthursday we want to give a shoutout to this group of colleagues from the Peterborough Police Senior Admin Team who came together to support our Backpacks for Success program in addition to all the work they do for their annual United Way workplace campaign. Thank you, we appreciate your commitment to building a secure foundation that allows people to feel safe and helped.

This 'Workplace Wednesday', we want to share the amazing team at Peterborough Child and Family Centres who have been supporting families in the county and city of Peterborough for more than 40 years! Peterborough Child & Family Centres provides support to expectant parents and families with young children and, as an organization supporting young children, believes in the power of play and fun and bring this to their work everyday.

With their team returning to in person programming after a year and a half out of the office, PC&FC decided some decluttering was in order and cleared out storage spaces, identified toys that were not longer needed, and announced on social media their yard sale to support their UWP Campaign.

As a United Way member partner agency, they see first hand how critical the community investment that United Way provides to local organizations is - annual UWP funding allows for the operation of their School for Young Moms, supporting some of the most vulnerable children and families in our community.

We want to send a huge shoutout to OPSEU Local 351 for their generous support for our Backpacks For Success program! Their gift will provide 75 local students with all of the artistic tools we typically supply in a backpack AND the instrumental Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) tools required for 30 local students. UWP's long standing partnership with the Peterborough & District Labour Council reflects both organizations commitment to social justice and community and we so appreciate OPSEU Local 351 investment in helping to build a stronger, heathier community for us all!
We are halfway to our fundraising goal for this years program. You can help, donate at https://buff.ly/3KIyO3j
