United Way Centraide mission is to improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action through Community Impact.

Community impact is about achieving meaningful, long-term improvements to the quality of life in Canadian communities, by addressing not just the symptoms of problems but also getting at the root causes. It’s about making fundamental changes to community conditions.
