United Way of Sault Ste Marie & district (UWSSM) - through community engagement identified four priority issues; health, employment, poverty, and youth concerns. Working with the non profit and volunteer sector, UWSSM facilitates solutions to these issues, resulting in community impact. UWSSM continues to fund these community priorities through three focus areas: Healthy people, strong communities; From poverty to possibility; and All that kids can be. These three focus areas affect many individuals around us and their need for support continues to grow. Everyday people that are experiencing tough times benefit the most from our services and we have all had tough times at one time or another, we may have just been more fortunate in our lives not to need these services. We fund 48 programs and services offered through 21 member agencies and other community partners. Change starts here. For more information on our programs go to www.ssmunitedway.ca
