That’s the vision behind our NEW monthly 50/50 raffle.
Every ticket purchased is a chance for you to win and an opportunity for us to invest in our shared community.
Maybe you’re wondering – where exactly is the other 50% being invested? United Way Peterborough and District is proud to partner with 20 local charities working to address some of the most urgent issues facing our community, including homelessness, domestic violence, mental health, unemployment, addiction and more.
We also conduct local research to ensure every dollar we receive is going towards partners, services, and ideas that will make that biggest difference. So, when you enter our raffle you can be certain that every ticket you buy, and every month you enter that even when you don’t win big your community certainly does.

Our Garden Box Community Build Day brought together volunteers, partners, and community members to build something truly meaningful, together!

From start to finish, it was a reminder of what’s possible when people come together with a shared purpose.
We’re so grateful to our partners @scotiabank, @cityptbo , and @chemonghhbc for helping make this day possible.
And we’re just getting started…
Join us next for Day of Caring on June 26 as we continue to show the power of a community coming together.
