St. Joe's, it's time once again to show your #LocalLove
Last year, we not only reached our goal of raising $25,000…we blew it out of the water and raised an astounding $33,028!
We want to say thank you, St. Joe's, for all the support you've provided over the years to our the United Way Halton and Hamilton. This will help to provide essential programs and services for the most vulnerable people right here in Hamilton!
Our goal this year is $25,000 and we’re counting on you to help us get there. We have a TON of great events planned for this year, and including a Plane Pull, Gift Card Survivor, Pizza Day, Smile Cookies on top of the many one-time and ongoing donations, we hope to make this year our most successful campaign ever!

Keep an eye out for screensavers and N2K for all of the details including our Gift Card Survivor event where you can win a ton of great gift cards, just in time for the holiday season, we have a promotional Pizza Day from Dominoes that will be running and of course, we have our Payroll Deduction campaign taking place once again with a ton of great prizes to be won.
2024 Gift Card Survivor

The last member standing will win the gift cards
