Winkler & Morden United Ways launch 2019-2020 campaign
Sept. 5, 2019 – The Winkler and District United Way launched its 2019 campaign today in a joint kickoff celebration with the United Way of Morden & District.
Throughout this fall, the Winkler United Way will be accepting donations on behalf of dozens of local community non-profit groups and projects.
“Every single dollar donated goes to right back into our communities,” says board president Kim Nelson. “No donation is too small. By pooling our charitable efforts we can have a huge impact on the lives of friends and neighbours who utilize the many charitable programs and services offered in our area.”
New for the United Way this year is a partnership with Access Credit Union, which has agreed to accept donations on our behalf at the Winkler branch. Simply stop by the reception desk and let them know you’d like to make a one-time donation or set up recurring donations.
Prefer to chat with a United Way volunteer in person when donating? You can stop by our manned donation tables at the Winkler Flyers home game on Friday, Sept. 13, the Winkler Senior Centre Waffle Breakfast on Thursday, Sept. 19 from 9 a.m. to noon, or the Winkler Co-op grocery store from 1-9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20 and Friday, Sept. 27.
Donations can also be dropped off anytime this fall at the Winkler Co-op grocery store, the Winkler Senior Centre, Gateway Resources, and at the City of Winkler offices in City Hall.
Online donations can be made at unitedwaywinkler.com. Cheques can be mailed to Winkler and District United Way, PO Box 1528, Winkler, MB, R6W 4B4.

2018-2019 CAMPAIGN UPDATE
WINKLER AND DISTRICT UNITED WAY DISTRIBUTES $10,000
FEB. 27, 2019—The Winkler and District United Way had the pleasure today of presenting 20 non-profit organizations in our area with grants of $500 each. That's $10,000 in total going to help organizations that provide vital services and programs to local residents!
The funds represent the proceeds from our 2018-2019 campaign. That campaign included donation drop-off points, online giving, and payroll deductions from participating businesses and their staff.
We're so thankful to everyone who sought us out to donate in this year of change. The new board is now hard at work on plans for the 2019-2020 campaign, which will include a few fun events in the months ahead leading up to the kick-off in September.
