United Way community leaders, volunteers, and donors this is a celebration of you!
United Way is celebrating 65 years of local community leaders working together to make our city safer and better for everyone. Join us on September 12th from 11:30am to 1:30pm at Civic Square to celebrate community building and help Stuff the Bus.
Stuff the Bus powered by Saskatoon Co-op showcases our communities’ generosity and provides essential items for those in need. Donations of new socks, toiletries, winter clothing, school supplies, and blankets go directly to local community organizations tackling complex issues right here at home.

COMMUNITY SERVICE TRADESHOW
United Way invests in 42 local initiatives, including 35 community-based organizations. Ten of those community service agencies are participating in a tradeshow at the kick-off. Learn directly from them how they are tackling some of our communities’ toughest challenges.
BBQ
Stop by for an inflation-proof $5 burger or hotdog and drink.
