2024 Ottawa-Carleton District School Board United Way Campaign
November 18 through to December 13
Tuesday, December 3 is Giving Tuesday
When someone's going through a tough time, it has ripple effects for all of us. Difficulties can arise from financial hardship, health challenges, or emotional struggles. When one person is affected, our whole community feels the impact.
This Giving Tuesday (December 3), help us address these struggles. Together, we can nurture resilient and supportive communities where everyone can thrive.
You can tackle homelessness, mental health and addictions, social isolation, and poverty. - all with one donation.
We know the toughest problems are deeply intertwined. We cannot fix one issue without considering the others, and no one can take on these challenges alone.
The power of United Way East Ontario lies in our big-picture approach.
We bring together caring communities to address all facets of these big challenges, so we can empower people to overcome them in meaningful and sustainable ways.
With you alongside us, we can ensure more people get the support they need, when they need it. United, we have the power to make a difference.
