We need your help more than ever!
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic.
But it was in the weeks before that public health agencies, social services agencies, and United Way Brandon & District gathered to see how we could support those in need. Since then, grassroots groups have formed. Neighbours are helping neighbours. Volunteers are stepping up.
Everyone has an important role to play.
We will get through this together
We know that in our region many people could not, and cannot, afford to adequately prepare for how COVID-19 is affecting their family. Many do not have supports, should they need to self-isolate. Those who already face barriers—things like poverty, homelessness and social isolation-need even more help during this time. The needs will continue to evolve. But, as you protect your family and those closest to you to keep them healthy, we urge you to think of those who may need the help of their neighbours.
Together we can keep our community strong.
Crisis is not unfamiliar to our region
We've been there for each other through floods, ice storms—even tornadoes. Each day, United Way Brandon & District works throughout Westman to tackle the tough problems. In a crisis, we work rapidly with front-line agencies, local municipalities and partners to uncover the greatest needs, and organize to achieve the greatest impact.
We know that when we work together, we can make a difference.
