United Way of Chatham-Kent
United Way of Chatham-Kent is a local, independent, not-for-profit organization
that works to maximize volunteer, financial, program and agency resources
to respond to the increasingly complex issues and needs that exist and
are emerging in Chatham-Kent. We are a community of people with a common
goal of caring.
The United Way of Chatham-Kent is all about YOUR community. Whether
it is:
- Citizens volunteering their skills
- Individuals and families giving dollars
- Community members coming together to make sure your
dollars are making the biggest difference
- Partners, like other agencies and funders, labour,
business and government to strengthen our community.
United Way is making Good Things Happen
by finding solutions that fit the needs of today and tomorrow. As our
society changes, United Way of Chatham-Kent is taking steps to build a
stronger community through innovation, partnerships, training and exciting
new programs.
A volunteer board of directors governs all United Way of Chatham-Kent
decision-making. The board oversees how donor money is used, shapes our
strategic vision, and plans and monitors organizational performance.
