CFB Kickoff Breakfast
Shout out to CFB Kingston! This week, they kicked off their 2021 campaign with a traditional pancake breakfast. Great to see this annual event return safely and looking forward to seeing more of its kind.
Early Epledge Successes
The campaign has seen early success with the Epledge donation system with the City of Kingston raising over $47,000 in their first day on the system and Queen’s Retirees raising over $77,000 on their first day as well. A great start to both campaigns and thanks so much for all the amazing support!

United Way of KFL&A would like to acknowledge this traditional territory’s longer existence and its significance for the Indigenous people who lived and continue to live on Turtle Island.
We are situated on traditional Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Huron-Wendat land. There are Métis and other non-status First People from many Indigenous Nations present in our community today. This acknowledgement symbolizes the United Way KFL&A’s first step, of many, along this path toward Indigenous reconciliation, in a respectful manner.
