The United Way of Burlington & Greater Hamilton serves as the most efficient umbrella charity, capable of engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action in order to generate funds for those in-need in our community. Dollars raised in the community are allocated to local agency programs that bring needed help and support, consistently and fairly, with proven performance and results. The United Way supports priority needs where funding is otherwise not available, providing services to seniors, individuals, families and children – many of whom live below the poverty line.
