This Labour Day, we celebrate the workers, union members, and labour leaders whose dedication helps strengthen communities across British Columbia.

United Way BC is proud of our longstanding partnerships with labour organizations and union members who share our commitment to supporting workers and families, advancing equity, and building stronger communities across the province.

Today, we recognize the labour movement's enduring contributions to safer workplaces, greater opportunity, and a more connected and inclusive BC.

Thank you to our labour partners, and to workers across the province, for helping create communities where everyone can thrive. ❤️

Meet Madi.
At just 8 years old, she saw the heartbreaking effects wildfires were having on people in our region and decided she wanted to help.

So, alongside her friend Emmy, she set up a lemonade stand at her mom's workplace and got to work raising funds for wildfire relief.

They raised nearly $400, plus a matching contribution from a local company, and even a donation from Madi's own savings account.

Together, they brought in an incredible $783 for people affected by the wildfires. Their donation helps us to support local organizations and communities providing immediate relief and longer-term recovery to displaced British Columbians.

We're inspired by Madi's generosity and determination to help those who need it. Her actions are proof that you are never too young to make a difference.

Thank you, Madi and Emmy. You're helping bring hope when it's needed most. ❤️

The Chinese Canadian community in Metro Vancouver has stepped up AGAIN to provide UWBC with a generous donation that we’ll use to support local organizations and communities impacted by wildfires.

The Vancouver Guandan Association – joined by some representatives of the Canadian Alliance of Chinese Associations – stopped by our Burnaby HQ today to present us with a $3,950 contribution. Thank you!

This comes fast on the heels of the Canadian Alliance of Chinese Associations and Feng Hong Family Foundation providing UWBC with both financial support and urgently needed supplies, which they transported to the Okanagan for residents affected by the wildfires.

Thank you to the Vancouver Guandan Association for your support!

The community continues to give in support of the wildfire effort.

DoorDash recently contributed $10,000 worth of gift certificates to UWBC – half allocated to Kelowna and half to Kamloops, which we distributed on Tuesday to the Kamloops Emergency Operations Centre (EOC).

Will, the EOC’s Director, says they’ll be distributing these gift certificates to people who’ve recently been evacuated due to the wildfires and staying in hotels.

We knew there was a need when we learned that some hotels weren’t within walking distance of the restaurants where Emergency Support Services (ESS) vouchers could be redeemed.

So DoorDash stepped up with this solution. Cards in hand, evacuees can choose their own meals from a restaurant of their choice and have the food delivered directly to their hotel.

The gift certificates are a welcome line to food, comfort, respite – as well as everyday essentials, as they can also be used to order important items from supermarkets and drug stores.
