Lately, life feels hard.  World events feel overwhelming.  Inequalities are growing.  Rising costs and inflation are stressful.   Our mental health is struggling and sometimes we can feel more alone than ever.  Some days, we may wonder how we got here and where we go next – will things get better?  Yes.  Better is possible.

We can build a community that is rich in compassion and empathy, understanding and hope.  We can help each other live better lives – because what’s better for you, is better for everyone.

Better is possible and there’s no better time than now.

 At United Way we believe better is possible.  Our purpose is creating lasting positive change. We are uniquely able to focus and unite people and resources to improve lives and build community, by creating support, connection, and opportunity.  We believe our community and the people in it matter and know that we can help each other live better lives.

It’s time for better.   It’s time to show up and move forward – for you, for your neighbours, for your friends and family.  The impact and urgency of issues like declining mental health, isolation, food insecurity and inequity demand us to be better.

We can be better.  Each contribution and action will make a difference and fuel community change. Let’s help each other live better lives.
