United Way BC is committed to delivering lasting, community-driven impact in partnership with diverse populations across the province — including Indigenous communities whose territories we live and work on. From Vancouver Island to the Lower Mainland, and across the Thompson Nicola Cariboo, Southern Interior, Trail and District, and East Kootenay regions, we walk alongside communities to create meaningful and equitable change.
Our mission is to strengthen vital connections that support people in need in our communities.
Our vision is to create a healthy, caring and inclusive community.
How do we deliver on our mission and vision – by delivering resources and support for those who need it most, and by living our values of being collaborative, compassionate, strategic, responsive, accountable, and inspiring.
