UNITED WAY PEMBINA VALLEY KICKS OFF 2023-2024 CAMPAIGN
SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 – United Way Pembina Valley’s annual fundraising campaign gets underway this month.
“It is only through the generosity of individual and corporate donors that we are able to support vital programs and services in our community each year,” said United Way Pembina Valley board president Levi Taylor. “Thanks to government funding that covers our administrative costs, every penny of your donation goes right back to help children, families, and individuals in our region.”
United Way Pembina Valley was able to distribute $110,000 in grant funding to 19 local non-profit agencies thanks to the community’s support of the 2022 campaign. That support also allowed us to present $7,500 in scholarships and bursaries to graduates at Garden Valley Collegiate, Northlands Parkway Collegiate, and Morden Collegiate.
“The applications we receive for funding each year far exceeds the funds we have available,” Taylor noted. “We’re hoping to close that gap a little more by setting a 2023 fundraising goal of $150,000. But we need the community’s help to make it happen.”
Donations to the campaign can be made in person at the Access Credit Union branches in Winkler or Morden. Online donations can be made at unitedwaypembinavalley.ca. Cheques can be mailed to United Way, PO Box 758, Morden, MB, R6M 1A7. We’ll also be accepting donations out in the community at a few locations in the weeks ahead—check out our social media pages for details.
Businesses can also get in touch with us to talk about making it easier for their employees to give through our payroll deduction program. We can be reached at unitedwaypembinavalley@gmail.com.
