About Us
For over 55 years, United Way Oxford has been working to improve lives. Having evolved from our roots as a ‘fundraiser’ to a community convener, United Way mobilizes partners-business, labour, service providers, community leaders and residents-helping to create opportunities for a better life for everyone in our community. United Way inspires people to come together to make a lasting difference.Through community conversations, we are working to achieve meaningful, long-term improvements to quality of life by addressing not only the symptoms of the problems but also getting at the root causes.
