Join us as we launch United Way Oxford’s 2026 Community Campaign and celebrate the power of people coming together to create positive change across Oxford County.

Each year, community leaders, partners, volunteers, donors, and residents gather to mark the beginning of our annual campaign and renew our shared commitment to building a stronger, more connected community. This event is an opportunity to gather with others who care deeply about Oxford County, learn about the impact being made through United Way-funded programs, and be inspired by the incredible generosity that exists throughout our communities.

We will have a guest speaker who will address the growing issue of unaffordability of basic needs here in our community. What happens when people can’t afford enough food or the other essentials needed to live well? Drawing on her experience as a Registered Dietitian, Kendall will unpack the connections between income, food insecurity and health, offering insight into one of the most urgent challenges many individuals and families face every day.

A highlight of the event will be the presentation of the Wes Magill Award, recognizing an individual or organization whose dedication to volunteerism and community service reflects the spirit of compassion, leadership, and local love that helps Oxford County thrive.

Whether you’re a long-time supporter or new to United Way, this is your chance to be part of a community-wide movement focused on creating opportunities, strengthening local programs, and ensuring everyone has the chance to belong and succeed.
