Your gift makes a big difference 🌎
A donation to United Way Peterborough & District is a donation to your community, including our 20 incredible partner agencies and the people they support, like John and his mom.
Through Peterborough Child & Family Centres (PCFC), this family received more than just assistance they found a feeling of home. PCFC is dedicated to providing expectant families and families with young children access the tools and resources they need to thrive. They offer programs such as the Toy Lending Library, Well Baby Clinic, School for Young Moms, and many other essential services.

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.

For the past two years, this program has been run in collaboration with our friends @path_ptbo (Peterborough Action for Tiny Homes).
This video shares a glimpse into how this long-standing program has evolved over the years.
If you’re able, we’re encouraging community members to donate warm winter items to support our neighbours facing the cold months ahead. Blankets, and men’s coats size L - XL are urgently needed at the moment, but every donation helps.
