40 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday November 16, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com United Way knows the need because it helps the needy T ell a passerby that last year $700,000 worth of food was delivered to local charities, food banks and group homes in your community. Mention that there are an estimated 2,638 children living in poverty, that there are 4,460 lone parent families and that one in eight seniors is living below the Low Income Cut-off. If you met that passerby on the streets of Oakville, they would find it hard to believe that you are talking about the Oakville community. In fact, there will be many people in this community who find these statistics hard to believe. There is a perception that homelessness, poverty, drug abuse and violence are reserved for major GET IN AND DRIVE.

In Oakville, it is sometimes difficult to accept that there is a very real need to support those in crisis, to strengthen families, support independence and well-being in seniors and to promote self-sufficiency in individuals. As long as we continue to believe in this perception, the more difficult it is for local agencies to get the funding they need to provide the essential health and social services that are necessary to build and maintain a healthy and vibrant community. Last year, United Way invested $2.15 million in 31 programs accessed by more than 30,000 Oakville residents. This year's goal is to invest $2.25 million into the community. Success in achieving this investment goal is directly linked to creating awareness of the need. Year after year, UWO works to ensure that there are funds and resources in place to maintain our community's health and social service programs. UWO raises funds and provides a means for donors to invest their dollars with others to increase the impact of that donation. UWO recruits citizen volunteers to make certain that those donations are being used for the greatest good of the community and develops funding priorities based on research and community need. The next time you meet your neighbour on the street, don't ask them if they know about the need in your community. Ask them if they have given to the United Way of Oakville. -- Submitted by the United Way of Oakville MOST 2007 AND 2008 VEHICLES.
