Here are some of the ways you can get involved:
DIY (Do-it-yourself) Guides: Care Kits
United Way’s DIY Care Kit guide offers fun, creative, and flexible ways for you and a group of your colleagues, family, friends, and neighbours to show support for the community. The guide provides you with the list of the supplies you’ll need, instructions on how to put the products together, and directions on how to donate them to a United Way agency in your neighbourhood. To learn more about these activities and more.
Make the Month
Deepen your understanding of yourself and others through an interactive activity.
Make the Month helps us learn about the realities our neighbours living in poverty face, by putting us in similar circumstances to those that they face on a daily basis. Financial decisions are rarely clear-cut or easy to make. How you allocate your money depends on what you need or value most, and requires some tough decision-making along the way. Each choice or decision has an impact on your mental health and relationships. What will take priority in your Make the Month journey?
If you are interested in having a facilitator run this activity at your workplace contact your United Way partner or email donorengagement@uwgt.org
