Today, we pause.

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never came home, and stand with Indigenous peoples, families, and communities across Canada.

As a national charity rooted in local communities, United Way Durham Region knows that reconciliation isn’t a single gesture; it’s an ongoing commitment to listening, unlearning, and taking action.

We are committed to strengthening our relationships with Indigenous communities and doing the work that real reconciliation requires.

Today, we remember. We act.

💪 Every right we have as workers was won by someone who refused to give up.

This Labour Day, we honour the courage of union members, advocates, and everyday workers who continue that fight today.

United Way Durham Region stands proudly alongside Labour. Together, we build communities where everyone has what they need to thrive. ❤️

💛 We’re incredibly grateful to the United Way of Durham Region for supporting our Express Bag program through the Tom Simmons Annual Grant.

This $9,500 contribution is already making a meaningful difference, helping ensure we can continue showing up for community members when they need it most.

Express Bags were designed for urgent moments - when someone reaches out for food support and simply can’t wait. Each bag provides 1–2 days of shelf-stable meals, offering immediate relief while connecting individuals and families to longer-term supports.

Since launching the pilot earlier this year, we’ve seen just how impactful this simple, responsive approach can be for both community members and our team.

If you’re facing an urgent situation and can’t wait for the next available shopping appointment or porch pick-up, Express Bags are available and do not count toward your monthly points. Learn more: www.tndf.ca/nourish-house-food-bank/

Thank you again to the United Way for recognizing the value of practical, community-rooted solutions. 🌱
