Collection Drive
Organize a donation drive for the supplies our agency partners need to do their important work.
Host a Collection Drive and connect your workplace to the community
A Collection Drive is a unique opportunity to make a very tangible difference for people right here in Winnipeg.
We match your workplace with a United Way Winnipeg agency partner that needs items to better serve their clients, and your co-workers rally to gather the items for them. You can choose to focus on a need that meets your organization’s vision for a better Winnipeg.
You’re not only contributing to local community development when you run a Collection Drive, you’re bringing your workplace together. It’s a positive bond that shows your team really cares about our city.
Donations of goods go to people who need them. Our agency partners are able to offer better experiences and more help to our fellow Winnipeggers, thanks to you.
