In September the 2015 United Way Campaign Cabinet set a goal to raise funds to support 12,000 people in our community. No other organization touches as many lives as United Way.

As we enter the final few months of our fundraising efforts, we want to thank all those who contributed so generously. Your donations will go a long way to helping those in need in our community.

To date we have raised funds to support 8,577 people.

Due to current economic conditions in our community we are projecting a shortfall in our campaign of at least 25 % or 3,000 people that we will be unable to assist. This shortfall will result in reduced services available in the community in 2016.

The good news is that there is still time. Donations can be accepted until March 31st.

If you have not yet donated but can … it is not too late!

Please donate on line at www.ssmunitedway.ca or call the United Way office today at 705-256-7476 Ext. 202 or Ext. 204.

Every donation, no matter the amount helps. We need you.
