Highlights of 2021 GenNext Fall Fling The GenNext Committee rang in the end of summer and beginning of fall with the first annual Fall Fling. Still working within COVID limitations, it was a fun outdoor event that saw food trucks, local beverages provided by Dixon's Distillery and Fixed Gear and our community gathering in person, in support of our community for the first time in two years!
Partnerships to End Poverty In 2021, United Way Guelph Wellington Dufferin became the host agency of the Guelph & Wellington Task Force for Poverty Elimination (PTF). The PTF works collaboratively, informed by diverse voices of experience, to take local action and advocate for system and policy change to address the root causes of poverty. United Way and the PTF are proud to be creating synergies with their work by collaborating on key community projects including the Poverty to Possibility Collective Impact Project and Guelph-Wellington’s goal to solve homelessness.
Community Wide 50/50 Draws! In partnership with the Guelph Storm and Guelph Nighthawks, United Way held multiple 50/50 draws to help raise much needed funds, when the pandemic prevented special events from taking place. Over $13,000 was raised to help support our community. Special thanks to Sani-Bin and Staebler Insurance for their support to promote and build the winning pots!
