A message from our Executive Director
We’re excited to embark on a new phase for United Way Leeds & Grenville. Our role is evolving beyond traditional fundraising; we are now deeply invested in making a tangible difference in our community.
In 2023, we concluded our community conversations, a vital initiative that gathered diverse perspectives from across Leeds and Grenville. These conversations have guided us to focus on creating lasting change in six crucial areas: food security, homelessness, housing, mental health, addictions, and support for children and youth.
We’re eager to continue working together to make long-term change and lasting impact!

Land Acknowledgement
United Way Leeds and Grenville is situated on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Huron-Wendat and Haudenosaunee people. The land that we preside on today lies on unceded Indigenous territory. We recognize that when settlers came to this land they created a legacy of inequities that are ongoing. We are committed to reducing these inequities, and through our work strive to improve health equity. We recognize the importance of the land and environment in establishing and sustaining optimal health, and we vow to respect this land as we undertake our work. Our organization pledges to build relationships with Indigenous friends and neighbours and recognizes the rich contributions they have provided and continue to provide to this region. This acknowledgment is a first step in our ongoing commitment to reconciliation.
