Make a difference! Together, we are possibility!

  In 2020 & 2021, 27 different business and organizations in qathet Regional District signed up for payroll deduction donations or hosted workplace campaigns to help support United Way's programs. These are easy, tangible ways for you to make a difference both in your workplace and in your community.  Payroll deduction donors can choose to donate as much or as little as they'd like from each paycheque. Every dollar helps - in 2021 we recieved $5,645.00 from payroll deductions alone!

Peruse the following documents to see if you're inspired to start a campaign in your workplace to help build community, give to those in need, and support important programs within Powell River!

Why choose to host a United Way workplace campaign? 

In Powell River and the qathet regional district*:
      - 47% of lone-parent households experience poverty
      - 24.6 children are living in low-income families
      - 12.4% of seniors experience poverty
      - 1/3 of all people are considered low income

There is a great need for a wide range of supports in our community, and we work to address many of them. From providing low-income individuals with access to funds for medical travel, dentures, and many other emergency expenses, to supporting community meal programs and poverty reduction programs, every dollar donated to Powell River & District United way goes to strengthening our  community.
