The United Way supports more than 50 community organizations in the HRM. Many are health focused initatives – organizations such as Veith House, the Learning Disabilities Association of Nova Scotia, the Halifax Sexual Health Centre and many others depend on United Way Funding. In the last 10 years, fewer and fewer of members of the Dalhousie community have donated to the United Way. In 2010, only 14% of employees gave to the campaign. This year, the aim is to increase the participation rate to 20% with a financial goal of $200,000. With your help, this is absolutely achieveable. In fact, if everyone contributed just $3 per month via payroll deduction, we would reach the $200,000 goal. Help us show that the Faculty of Health Professions supports the United Way, it’s not too late to go online and make your donation. Visit the Dalhousie United Way website to learn more.
