50 people. 1 Peterborough.

We asked 50 people “What is your most cherished possession?”

We asked 50 people “Do you have any regrets?”  Most of us do. And we all deserve a second chance.

We asked 50 local people, 1 question and it turns out.. there’s no place like home. United Way believes housing is a human right. Everyone deserves a home.

Happy Thanksgiving.

This is our community. Show your #LocalLove.

You’re not seeing double, your generosity can go twice as far!

For 85 years, neighbours have been coming together to build a stronger, more caring Peterborough community. This year, there’s an extra reason to celebrate: eligible donations will be matched dollar for dollar!

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, new donations of $85 or more, as well as any increase to an existing gift, will be matched 100% through our 2026 Community Campaign.

This is the third and final year of this incredible matching gift, making it a special opportunity to double your impact and help support the network of 20 local agencies working to strengthen our community.

Whether you’re making your first gift or increasing your support, your generosity makes a difference.

85 years united. Double the impact. Stronger together.

🧡 Today we wear orange. In honour of every child who was taken. Every family that was broken. Every survivor who carried the weight of what should never have happened.

Reconciliation is not a moment; it’s a responsibility we carry every day.
