The community is growing and changing, and United Way Hastings & Prince Edward is aiming to better understand the priority issues that matter most to residents across the region by launching the ‘Your Community, Your Vision’ project.
They are inviting all community members to share their thoughts and ideas about our community’s challenges, strengths, and what they see for our community’s future. A series of open conversations will take place around Hastings & Prince Edward counties in public spaces throughout May, June, and September.
“This is a unique opportunity for United Way HPE to deepen its understanding of our community’s needs, and it’s your opportunity to help guide the organization’s future decisions and direction,” states Jodi Cooper, Director Community Impact at United Way Hastings & Prince Edward. “Our goal is to co-create, with our community, an impact strategy that will guide all of United Way’s work, including funding for community programs.”
The organization’s current impact strategy was created in 2013. “Our community has changed a lot over the last 10 years,” said Brandi Hodge, Executive Director “The impacts of the pandemic will be felt for years to come and with the changing dynamics we’re seeing across our whole region, it’s time to revisit our priorities and ensure that we are responding to our whole community in relevant and measurable ways.”
