FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 18, 2025

United Way Leeds & Grenville (UWLG) is pleased to announce that it raised $808,843.26 in its 2024 campaign thanks to the generous contributions of donors, volunteers and community partners. This will enable UWLG to continue its work in crucial areas such as housing, homelessness, food security, mental health, addiction, and youth support.

Last year proved to be a tough one for Canadian charities overall, facing economic challenges like ongoing inflation and an extended postal strike. UWLG was not immune to these difficulties, experiencing the same challenging fundraising conditions.

“We are so thankful that our donors recognized the essential role the United Way plays in meeting the needs of so many throughout Leeds and Grenville,” said UWLG Chair Ian McFall. “We set an incredibly ambitious goal and, while we did not quite get there, we are thrilled with the community’s response.”

The agency is entering a new phase of strategic planning to ensure it continues to thrive. “We are taking proactive steps to strengthen our financial foundation for the future, including refining our communication strategies, hosting community-focused events, building new partnerships, and exploring additional revenue streams,” said Executive Director Hailie Jack. ‘Our dedication to making a lasting, positive change remains as strong as ever, and we are more committed than ever to helping those who need it most.”
