Northumberland United Way sets legacy goal for new fundraising campaign

Northumberland United Way announced yesterday it raised $873,500 during its fundraising campaign this past year and also launched its new campaign at the kickoff breakfast at the Best Western in Cobourg.

With the theme A Legacy of Caring, United Way aims to raise $955,000 through its 2024-25 campaign.

Executive director Alicia Vandine said the theme speaks to the lasting impact of United Way in Northumberland County and the organization remains committed to supporting the community, providing vital resources and assistance to 1 in 4 people in the county who rely on United Way-funded programs and services each year. 

Vandine also thanked the donors who continue to support the United Way’s annual fundraising campaign. 

In addition to announcing their fundraising goal, United Way revealed their 2024 funded community partners during the breakfast and they are Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northumberland programs including in-school mentoring, traditional mentoring, and Go Girls!, Community Care Northumberland: Supporting Seniors at Home program, Community Counselling & Resource Centre: Community counselling; The Help Centre: Core funding for programs including housing support, financial literacy, energy programs, ESL classes, seniors support, outreach and more, Rebound Child & Youth Services: Triple P (Positive Parenting Program); WrapAround Northumberland: Wraparound services for individuals and families and The Salvation Army: Community and family services.
