Campaign

Overview

The United Way of Northern British Columbia is a leader in bringing together the resources needed to improve lives and strengthen communities.

Each year UWNBC runs a Community Campaign to raise funds to invest in health and social service programs that address community needs for children and families, seniors and others who face barriers to inclusion. UWNBC's campaign period runs from the beginning of September to the end of December. Together hundreds of volunteers and thousands of donors across northern BC from the business, labour, private and public sectors, and organizations both large and small participate in the Community Campaign to strengthen the region in which they live.

UWNBC relies on the generosity of it's donors to help transform lives and build a strong foundation for communities in northern BC.

For further information on how to become involved in UWNBC's community campaign please contact Lesley Anderson, Manager, Resource Development, by clicking here or by phone at (250) 561-1040.

Please join us. We believe in our communities.
