Frequently Asked Questions

What does United Way of Greater Moncton and Southeastern NB do?

United Way of Greater Moncton and Southeastern NB does more than raise funds. We bring partners together to tackle complex issues like housing costs, homelessness, youth mental health, youth employment, and food insecurity. We work with local partners and community groups to identify needs, co-design and develop programs, and strengthen the systems that help people thrive. We link community efforts so people and youth have support for as long as they need it.
Every dollar stays local. Every action fuels lasting change. We also help raise funds so our partners can focus more on helping people.
