Principal Patrick Deane is hosting two United Way at Queen’s Speaker Series sessions, to provide information about the positive impact these funds have on our community. Both sessions will focus on how agencies are working to advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in our community.

The Queen’s United Way Campaign Committee has set a fundraising goal of $475,000 for this year’s campaign in support of United Way of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington.

Thanks to the continued support of staff, faculty, and retirees, donations to the campaign currently total $298,466 or 63 per cent of the final goal.

Last year, the United Way assisted nearly 74,000 members of the community, including single parents, abused women, families, young children and teenagers, the elderly, the physically challenged, the homeless, and more – via a network of agencies and programs.

Queen’s community members can back the United Way by donating through payroll deduction, a one-time gift, credit card, cheque, or cash. 

To join the campaign and donate, visit the Queen’s United Way site and follow the instructions. Previous donors who have accepted automatic renewal can also use this link to increase their annual pledge.
