YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR UNITED WAY.


IN THE PAST 3 YEARS UNITED WAY HAS INVESTED INTO THESE THREE STRATEGIES FOR CHANGE*


1. All that kids can be $331,945.00 Children and youth are our city’s future. Improving their well-being saves our city money and improves the quality of life for all residents. United Way focuses on: After School Programs providing structured and extracurricular activities for children and youth outside of school during critical hours. Mentoring for youth to increase school engagement and improve academic success. Brown Bag Lunches to help kids focus and learn. A backpack full of School supplies to help kids fi t in with their peers and have the same advantage at the start of the year.


2. Poverty to Possibility $309,435.00 This strategy focuses on providing individuals and families with basic needs, fi nancial stability, job skills and training, and housing supports. In 2013, your support enabled United Way to invest in programs and collaborative initiatives to help individuals and families become fi nancially stable. For example, United Way-funded programs help: People fi nd and keep affordable housing. Low-income families learn money management skills to help overcome and prevent poverty related issues. To remove the stigma associated with individuals and families living in poverty.


3. Healthy People Strong Communities $308,746.00 For more than 55 years United Way of South Eastern Alberta has been providing support for programs that reduce barriers and encourage independence. Although, sometimes we cannot illuminate the root cause of some of these issues, we provide support needed to help individuals and families on the road to independence. CNIB provides services for those affected by reduced sight or loss, from Children to Seniors. Canadian Paraplegic Society provides counseling and services for individuals and families suffering from a Spinal Cord Injury. Brain Injury Relearning Services is vital to the recovery and independence of an individual that has suffered a Head Trauma Accident. Most Recently United Way invests in programs for those suffering the effects of Parkinson’s disease. Care givers and Parkinson’s Patients receive valuable information and can get help from much needed support groups.


*please note that some programs may overlap into one or more of the 3 strategies for change!
