This past year has been a powerful reminder of just how much we need one another.
We were tested by challenges both familiar and unexpected. More people than ever turned to local programs for support. And once again, when it mattered most, you stepped up.
That’s the story we’re thrilled to share in our 2024-2025 Impact Report.
This report is more than numbers and outcomes, it’s a tribute to your compassion in action. It shares stories of how you showed up for friends, for neighbours, and for people you may never meet. It proves that when generosity meets purpose, lives are changed.
And this year, your action was urgently needed.
Across Burlington, Halton Hills, Hamilton, Milton, and Oakville, the demand for vital services kept rising. Families and individuals seeking food, shelter, or mental health support after a traumatic experience couldn’t afford to wait.
But many frontline agencies were already stretched to the limit, doing everything they could with limited capacity.
That’s where your support made all the difference.
Because of you, people didn’t just find help, they found a lifeline. Not just one solution, but the wraparound support they needed to face their challenges head-on.
That’s what United Way’s network of local programs does best. It meets people where they are and surrounds them with coordinated care that leads to real, lasting change.
Even with the economic odds stacked against us, your generosity raised an incredible $12.1 million.
That funding became warm meals, safe places to sleep, counselling in moments of crisis, mentorship for young people, and dignity for families struggling to get back on their feet. Most importantly, you helped to make sure that no one fell through the cracks.
We invite you to explore the 2025 Impact Report and see just how far your generosity reaches. You’ll discover powerful stories you helped write of courage, resilience, and hope.
When you see the lives transformed, we hope you feel a deep sense of pride. Because none of this would be possible without you.
You are part of a community led by empathy, powered by generosity, and driven by change.
You are United in Action.
And together, we are creating a future where everyone can thrive.
