It's all about making connections and creating places and spaces where people feel welcome and part of a community. That's what we do at United Way British Columbia - working with communities in BC's Interior, Lower Mainland and Central & Northern Vancouver Island. With your help, we're creating healthy, caring, inclusive communities for everyone.
Sumas Prairie is filled with talented, passionate people who care about their community. United Way’s Community Re-builder Initiative supports Sumas Prairie residents just like you to help your community rebuild and recover from the floods of 2021.
Our Local Love Fund provides grants of up to $1,000 to help you make a difference in the ways that matter most to you and to your community.
It might be providing hot meals for cleanup efforts, helping people refurbish flood-damaged furniture or providing essential items so people can return to their homes and farms. We call these acts of local love. And we’re here to help you make it happen.
Our team is in communities across the Fraser Valley working with area residents to promote the health, well-being, and resilience of our communities.
