United Way’s Misson

“To improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action.”

United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on children, vulnerable adults and seniors. These are the building blocks for a good life – quality support for children leads to confident adults; help for vulnerable adults and families makes your community stable; and healthy seniors are happy, more independent and enjoy a better quality of life.

Our goal is to create long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place.

Our vision for the Central & South Okanagan/Similkameen in the next ten years is bold:

• Healthy confident children
• Safe Productive adults
• Independent healthy seniors

We invite you to be part of the change. Together, united, we can inspire hope and create opportunities for a better tomorrow. That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED.

2010 marks 60 years of service to the local community by United Way of the Central Okanagan with United Way of the South Okanagan / Similkameen joining in partnership in 1997.
