2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the United Way Bruce Grey. This organization has served its local community for a quarter of a century, strengthening the social safety net for those who need support.

“We are incredibly proud of the incredible impact that UWBG donors have had on the people of Grey and Bruce County over the past 25 years," said UWBG Executive Director, Francesca Dobbyn. "By supporting local initiatives, we have been able to provide much-needed support to people in times of need, helping to make our communities stronger and more vibrant.”
