United Way of Thunder Bay is a local organization that focuses collective efforts on issues of poverty in our community. We do this in many ways, including inspiring individuals and businesses to get involved, supporting community initiatives that tackle the root causes of poverty and its impacts on local people, working with partners to find new solutions, and by investing resources where and when they are needed most.
We believe that everyone has an important role to play in improving lives and building a strong community. Our work ensures that every citizen, business and organization has the opportunity to contribute in a way that is meaningful to them.
