Dear TUFA Members,
Today is Giving Tuesday and together we’re working hard to support our students and campus community. So many things have changed recently, including here at Trent. Over the past year, we’ve welcomed many new faces to the Trent team as faculty and staff. But while much has changed, much has stayed the same, including our ongoing support for the United Way in Peterborough and Durham.
New to Trent? Join us supporting our host communities that give so much to Trent and to our students.
New to supporting the United Way? Feel good knowing your donation stays in the community, benefiting our neighbours, getting help to people in need. One gift, lots of impact.
Over the more than 50 years that Trent University has supported the United Way, we have become the single biggest workplace contributor to the Peterborough United Way and helped create positive change in the lives of thousands upon thousands in the communities where we also live and work.
Last year alone, Trent’s campaign enabled United Way supported programs to provide assistance to those in need more than 53,000 times! Broken down another way, our support provided:
- 7,156 youth with workshops, programs, and other activities
- 2,084 in-home supports for those with mobility issues
- 1,162 food cards to individuals and families
- 185 community education sessions
- 302 social learning and inclusion programs
- 386 financial counselling sessions.
Our goal is to continue building on the extraordinary positive impact we are already having in the broader community – and we can only to this if more of us commit to support the United Way.
