Improving Lives. Building Community.

United Way creates lasting positive change. We are uniquely able to unite people and resources to find solutions to existing and emerging social issues to support all who live in Guelph, Wellington, and Dufferin.

What We Do

We bring people and resources together through our collaborative networks to monitor and identify pressing social issues. Then, with the support of our donors, we invest in existing community programs and mobilize new collective approaches to create lasting positive change in the most effective way possible.
