Western Shows #LocalLove
Western's United Way Campaign is London's largest employee/retiree generated campaign and it is very clear that Western community members truly want to show the London area their Local Love.
Highlights from the 2018 campaign include:
- an increase in overall donors
- donation of 120 boots to the GenNext Boot Drive
- outstanding support from all our United Way volunteers
Thank you to everyone who helped support United Way Elgin Middlesex in their work to reduce family poverty, support youth success and change lives right here at home.
