United Way Campaign

Our 2024 Campaign has officially launched!

During October (United Way month at the University of Waterloo), we are thrilled to bring you lots of events, bake sales, and other fun activities to raise money for this extremely good cause.

CAMPAIGN INFORMATION:

Every October we raise money for the United Way Waterloo Region Communities. This branch of the United Way distributes funds to, and supports, nearly 130 local agencies and charities. Strengthening our community through their work, these organizations work to reduce the impacts of poverty, mental health issues, addiction, sexual violence, illiteracy, and other hardships facing individuals and families.
