Have a winter coat, a warm sweater or a pair of boots you no longer need? Put them to good use! 🧥

Next Saturday, November 7, we're inviting the community to come together and donate to Coats for Community... and More!

Drop off new or gently used winter clothing, coats, footwear and seasonal essentials at PATH (385 Lansdowne St E) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Your donations will help make sure our neighbours have the essentials they need to stay warm this winter.

Take a look through your closets, ask a friend or neighbour to do the same, and bring what you can. Every donation helps, and together, we can make a real difference for people in our community.

📍 PATH – 385 Lansdowne Street East
📅 Saturday, November 7 | 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Happy Halloween 🎃 from the United Way Peterborough & District team!
We are so happy to be back at our Stewart St. office after a couple of weeks working remotely due to aforementioned “unforeseen circumstances”! Come by and say hello! The team has missed you.
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.
