Save the Date: Campaign Kickoff!
Come on out Thursday September 15th as we invite you to join us for our 58th annual Campaign Kick Off!

Hosted at Upper Thames Brewing Company, you will have the opportunity to take part in building Welcome Home Kits for individuals that are entering into affordable housing. These kits will be given to those entering a new chapter in their life, helping them with some of the essential items they need to feel more at home in their new place.

You'll also hear from guest speakers who will share their passion for supporting Oxford County through United Way, and how together, more than ever, we can make deep impact across our community! Be sure to RSVP here!

Thank you to Upper Thames Brewing Company for your support in this event!

A Message from Executive Director: Kelly Gilson
"Over the past few months there have been a number of positive and impactful improvements or additions to the community supports and services available to assist those experiencing homelessness or are precariously housed. People can find themselves homeless for a number of reasons – it is a complex and complicated situation. It is also not something that can be resolved with 1 program, 1 organization or 1 answer. I want to extend my sincere thanks to the organizations that are providing direct supports; their staff work hard in challenging situations to try and find workable solutions.
