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.
"The United Way Campaign is not about dollars, it is about transformed lives. The ultimate success of the campaign will be in evidence all around you throughout the year as supported local agencies continue to make a difference in the lives of thousands of people in our community – our colleagues, neighbours, friends and families."
Scott Harris2019 Campaign Chair,
"In the midst of the incredible challenges that we are facing right now, there’s never been a more important time to support the United Way. Kingston is always at its best when we come together to help one another. By working together, we can ensure that help will be there for everyone who needs it."
Bryan Paterson Kingston Mayor
"This year, in particular, we really need people to give if they can give, and we are counting on everyone who is giving to give a little more. In times of crisis, we need to come together and work to make sure immediate needs are met and the most vulnerable members of our community are taken care of."
Antje McNeely2020 Campaign Chair

"My wife and I have always donated to the United Way KFL&A because we know the donated funds are used in our community. In my retirement, I have become more aware of the people in need in our community. I encourage you to support these vital programs by volunteering and by making a donation. Through the United Way you make a difference in the lives of so many."
Jim Parker
"With our United Way funding, we go right to the grocery store or a local supplier and purchase the food that helps a student take advantage of everything school has to offer. You can be confident that your donation to the United Way stays here, in KFL&A and supports students in our community"
Brenda MooreFood Sharing Project
“United Way came in and adopted us and things changed dramatically, we didn’t have people waiting on the step for a bed in the winter. They stay as long as they need to and we help them get into transitional housing. We provide them with structure and help them. Because of United Way we get to help raise these children and I feel honoured and so proud to know them.”
