The United Way KFL&A mission is to build and strengthen our community by bringing people and resources together to facilitate change. We see a future where people are self-sufficient in a community where individuals live with hope, dignity and a sense of belonging.

“I get to be the face of the campaign, but the work that is done is really done by workplaces, by volunteers and at the end of the day it is the donors that make the impact. They choose to help their friends, families and neighbours in the most meaningful way and in a way they can see the impact in their day to day life and that is really what the United Way represents in our community.”

“I can’t say enough about how the United Way has been able to help Lionhearts, along with so many other agencies across Kingston and surrounding area. Really it’s all about partnerships. We’re honoured to stand side-by-side with them to be able to provide these services.”

“United Way works tirelessly to fund over 60+ programs in our community that serve some of the most vulnerable clients. During COVID 19 United Way has demonstrated their leadership by providing additional funding to many agencies in Kingston, including Kingston Community Health Centre, funding support for the homeless, supporting the Good Food Box program and developing the new Seniors’ Food Box.”

“COVID-19 turned everything on its head. Long-time volunteers had to step away due to the health risks, but others came in and filled the void. Because of the United Way's investment in Morningstar, from local and federal funds, we have been able to respond generously, and compassionately, to a community in crisis. We could not have done any of this without you.”
