We’re excited to announce the return of United Way Halton & Hamilton’s Local Love Community Match. For every $4 donated, $1 will be matched by a group of generous community members and organizations. That means you’ll have an even bigger impact on our community and help more individuals and families improve their lives, locally.

“I have a passion for bettering my community by helping everyone, especially women and children, gain access to the critical support they need to thrive. Women United has provided me with a broader perspective on the deep social issues, and has helped me to become a better daughter, wife, mother, and sister.”
