Collection Drives
Blankets and bedding. Puzzles and books. Shampoo and soap. Coats and mitts. Get together with your workplace or friends to gather household items—and make a tangible difference in Winnipeggers’ lives right now.
Hosting a Collection Drive at Work
The cost of household items is rising, and everyone in our community deserves to have the basics at home. Hosting a collection drive with your co-workers creates a memorable bond and a mutual understanding of what we can do to hold each other up in times of need.
We will match your workplace with a United Way Winnipeg agency partner. You and your colleagues will gather items that your organization’s clients are currently looking for, and together, you’ll be making a direct impact on people in our community.
Why host a collection drive?
It's meaningful.
Inspire gratitude, community spirit, and a sense of accomplishment among your team with the simple act of collecting supplies.
It's hands-on.
Connect to our community in a tangible way by working together with your colleagues. You will see and feel the real difference you’re making for others with each item that comes in.

Learn about current challenges and how we can all contribute today to build a stronger city for everyone that lives here.
