Ultimate Burger Battle

Forget about burger week, United Way Guelph Wellington Dufferin is deeming it burger month!

The United Way Ultimate Burger Battle, presented by Elinesky Schuett Private Wealth of RBC Dominion Securities, brings together the power of food and the power of giving back – it’s all about supporting local! Grab a burger, support a local restaurant and give back all at the same time – that’s what we call a ‘win-win’!

Funds raised through the Ultimate Burger Battle will support food insecurity programs across Guelph, Wellington County & Dufferin County, funded through our From Poverty to Possibility and Rural Communities focus areas.

What better way to give back to your local community than by enjoying burgers together with your friends and family?!
