Local love is every act that we do to make our region just a little bit better. It’s lending a hand to someone in need. It’s posting a photo of our beautiful communities. It’s organizing a volunteer event with your friends.

Hope is what fuels our work—hope that together, we can create real change for those struggling with poverty, homelessness, and hardship. This year, there are many ways to turn hope into action: walk with us at the Coldest Night of the Year in Bradford and Midland, join the conversation at our Poverty Reduction Task Group session, donate to power the work we do in collaboration with partners across the communities we serve, or share your voice as we shape the future of United Way Simcoe Muskoka through our strategic plan check-in....
