What Your Gift Can Do

What your gift can do

Thanks to your dollars, United Way of York Region ensures that help is getting to the people who need it most. Your support is also helping us strengthen whole communities and enable everyday people to create solutions that work for them. We are working at all levels – supporting people and groups in their neighbourhoods, supporting frontline programs and agencies, supporting research and policy change. And through your generosity, we are working to remain a remarkable region, one that is healthier and stronger for everyone.

Here are just a few examples of what your gift can do:

$40/$1.54* provides a counsellor for an individual who is deaf or hard of hearing for a year, helping them access services, new communication devices and the support they need to develop coping skills.

$125/ $4.81* per pay feeds a family of four living in poverty for one week, helping them rebuild their lives and gain the stability they need to move forward.

$400/$15.38* gives two girls between the ages of 4 and 18, the social and educational supports they need in and out-of-school, helping them stimulate interests, increase learning, and develop confidence.

$1300 / $50* provides three troubled youth or adults struggling to find jobs, the literacy and life-skills training they need, helping them secure long-term employment.

*Per pay based on 26 pay periods per year (rounded up to the nearest dollar).
