Hi everyone - I have been supporting United Way with monthly donations for more than 5 years now, and for the last 3 years I've been a member of the Campaign Cabinet. This month, I'll be walking, hiking and running to raise awareness and funds for people in my community who need support. I donate toUnited Way because I want my community to be healthy, caring, and inclusive. UW's focus on kids and youth, seniors, poverty, mental health and food security touches on all my priorities for giving back. It is a very nimble charity too, with the ability to respond quickly to crises. During COVID, UW created neighbourhood-based food programs to help the growing number of people who were struggling to put food on the table. And when wildfires began to ravage BC this summer, they created a Wildfire Recovery Fund to help with things like permanent housing, food assistance, trauma and mental health support. Please consider joining ClimbUp yourself, or making a donation. Thank you...Lisa
