About United Way Bruce Grey - Meaford

The Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser, in collaboration with the Meaford Rotary Club, aims to provide essential support to individuals and families in Meaford facing the challenges of poverty. The funds raised will directly support one of United Way Bruce Grey’s core priorities: “From Poverty to Possibility.” This initiative funds programs that tackle food insecurity, utility assistance, homelessness, and the provision of school supplies to students from low-income families, fostering long-term change and hope for a better future.


This event will help more Meaford residents bridge the gap between their income and the hardships of poverty. Proceeds will also support the Meaford Food Bank and Outreach, the Rotary Thrift Shop, and outreach programs offering mental health and physical support to the community’s most vulnerable.


Funds raised through the Coldest Night of the Year walk, happening on Saturday, February 22, 2025, will directly benefit vulnerable members of the Meaford community. Join us in making a meaningful difference for those in need right here in Meaford.
