Who we are
United Way is the second largest funder of social service programs across the country, second only to government. Thanks to generous donors and partners, United Way is creating change on key social issues such as food security, mental health, and isolation in seniors by investing over $4.6 million in critical services to 129 agencies and programs across Waterloo Region in 2020. Over $2.1 million was distributed via COVID emergency services, thanks in part to both local donors and corporate partners, and the Government of Canada.
