Sam found relief with a United Way-funded housing support worker in her corner.
The SMU United Way committee is excited to release the schedule of events for the 2023 United Way campaign, which begins March 27!
The line-up includes traditional events like the Pizza Party kick-off and the Book & Board Game sale, as well as favourites from last year such as massage therapy sessions provided by student practitioners from Eastern College and free yoga at the Homburg.
New this year is Lunch-hour Trivia in the Gorsebrook Lounge. Teams of up to four are encouraged to flex their trivia skills and match wits for a good cause.
All proceeds raised from these events go to the United Way Halifax Community Fund,
When you give, you are helping people who are struggling to keep up with their basic needs: safe shelter, nutritious food, and mental health support. At a time when costs are rising and housing is scarce, United Way Halifax is bridging gaps with short-term and long-term solutions. Your support right now is crucial.
Every donation counts and helps to improve people’s daily lives right here in our community. Thank you for your support.
Let’s come together, have some fun and take action to ensure there are brighter days ahead for everyone in our community!
