Nineteen local non-profits will benefit from a total of $103, 000 collected through the United Way Pembina Valley's 2022-2023 campaign.

“We’d like to thank everyone who made a donation to this year’s campaign,” said United Way Pembina Valley president Chris Willsey in an emailed statement. “By working together, we’re able to support a range of vital programs, services, and projects that aim to make life better for so many people who call the Pembina Valley home.”

The United Way will also be distributing $7,500 in scholarships and bursaries to graduates of Garden Valley Collegiate, Northlands Parkway Collegiate, and Morden Collegiate this June.
