For the month of February, HWCDSB employees will be “United in Action” to help those most vulnerable access the supports they need.
Kicking off on February 2nd, staff can make a monetary contribution through online employee donations and special fundraising activities in support of the United Way.
“‘United in Action’ is a powerful reminder that when we come together with enthusiasm, passion, and purpose, we can strengthen our communities in meaningful ways,” said campaign co-chair Josie Zuppa at a kickoff event on January 21.
“The Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board is proud to support United Way in addressing the most pressing needs in our community.”
These include educational and after-school programs that foster self-esteem and confidence in children and youth. These initiatives provide access to essential support such as healthy meals, job readiness training, and mental health resources.
“We know that our collective contributions through this campaign will have a lasting impact, improving the lives of children, families, and individuals throughout our community,” added campaign co-chair Ryan Valconi.
To officially kick off the campaign, the HWCDSB has designated Monday, February 2, as Red and White Day. We encourage staff and students to proudly wear United Way colours and consider making a donation of a loonie or toonie.
Together, as Catholic educators, our United Actions will make our greater Hamilton community even stronger.
The United Way employee giving campaign runs from February 2 to February 28, 2026.
