United Way funding two new programs

To The Haldimand Press

HALDIMAND—United Way of Haldimand and Norfolk is proud to announce that they will be funding two new programs in 2019. United Way funding decisions are community driven and community focused. Each year a group of local volunteers representing various sectors in Haldimand and Norfolk form the Allocations Committee. Using their knowledge and first-hand experience, they allocate funds to the programs they feel will meet the most urgent needs of Haldimand and Norfolk residents.

The two new United Way funded programs are as follows.

Taylor the Turtle: My Body Belongs to Me
