In these trying economic times, there has never been a better time to consider investing money in your own community. Increased economic challenges combined with government cutbacks are putting incredible pressures on our community and our people.
This year (2024), the United Way of Lunenburg County invested $244,278 to 25 Lunenburg County community groups and programs. The United Way operated an additional 10 programs.

But what if?
What if, every single working person in Lunenburg County contributed just 15¢ per day to the United Way of Lunenburg County? If this were to happen, we would raise in excess of $1.2 million each and every year. Because this is money raised by the local United Way it must stay in Lunenburg County. It can’t be sent to Halifax, Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto or beyond. It has to stay in Lunenburg County.
This is money that we could then invest to help our kids, youth, families, seniors and communities. We could build capacity, hope and opportunity.
For many Lunenburg County Community Groups and Organizations, funding from the United Way of Lunenburg County is the difference between a good program and a great program and in some cases simply no program at all.
