The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is an opportunity for the Board of Directors of United Way East Ontario to present the 2025-2026 Annual Report and financial statements with our members*.
Local love fuels us to tackle the greatest challenges facing our community. Together with our supporters and partners—people who love where they live and want to make a difference—we can break down barriers, improves lives, and create opportunities for individuals and families in Renfrew County.
Our efforts are backed by a commitment to 100% local impact. This means funds raised locally are put to work to help those most in need – right here, in the heart of the Ottawa Valley.
Spanning nearly 8,000 square kilometres, the County of Renfrew is known for its beautiful rural scenery and vibrant local neighbourhoods. From the outskirts of Ottawa to the northern tip of Algonquin Park, the Renfrew County office works with community partners to strengthen the social fabric of our region.
Thanks to the generosity of our incredible donors, we support the most vulnerable people in our community. This includes at-risk preschoolers and youth, families living in poverty, isolated seniors, and individuals struggling with mental health issues.
