BELONGING

We know just how important it is to have people around us… to help during the rough times, and who we can celebrate with during the good ones. 

Brant United Way works to help people who may feel isolated or alone, find connections to the people and community around them.

Grants are available to help fund local services that help people build connections to the people and community around them, provide people with opportunities to thrive, and that are there to help when help is needed most.
