History and Mission
The United Way of Saskatoon & Area came into existence in 1959 as the result of a partnership agreement between the Saskatoon Chamber of Commerce and the Saskatoon and District Labour Council. Business and labour leaders came together to form the United Way because they saw the need for the community to collectively identify human service needs and raise funds to address them. The United Way of Saskatoon & Area continues to represent this partnership of business, labour and community agencies.
Today, the United Way has invested millions of donor dollars to ensure a helping hand is available in our community when it is needed most.
Beyond the dollars, United Way brings together volunteer resources and local leadership from across sectors to find solutions to our most pressing community issues.
Mission
United Way of Saskatoon & Area's Mission is to improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action.
