Workplace/corporate address
Atten:
Please be advised that as of July 15, 2023, United Way Central Plains will be dissolving their organization. United Way Brandon & District will be servicing our region and providing the support and community impact that United Way is known for.
United Way Brandon & District is committed to a “All Dollars Raised Here – Stay Here” approach, and any monies raised in our region will be invested back into programs and services right here in our community. They will be hiring local staff to work out of the office here and the goal is to have the office open in mid-August. They will also be recruiting a volunteer advisory committee from our community to assist with fundraising, but more importantly, to make decisions about where our locally raised dollars are invested.
Please notify your finance department to direct all donations/pledges going forward to:

Acknowledgement, Truth & Reconciliation
We appreciate that we are on Treaty 2 Territory, the original, unceded lands Dakota People and the shared region of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Assiniboine, Dakota and Dene Peoples and the homeland of the Metis Nation and we acknowledge that the Indigenous peoples are the traditional guardians of Turtle Island. We vow to respect Mother Earth and have a deeply held respect for the environment in which we live. We embrace the relationship we have with all Indigenous peoples, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and commit to moving forward in partnership and in the spirit of truth, reconciliation and collaboration.
Special thanks to our title sponsor Fusion Credit Union and all sponsors who helped make this year’s a battle a success.
