What We Do

Nova Scotia provincial government employees are committed to supporting their local community agencies and programs for healthy and successful youth; empowering people to overcome challenges; and building safe, vibrant neighbourhoods.

The mission of the provincial government employee's United Way campaign is:

  • to do the most possible good for the greatest number of people;
  • to assist people in our communities via a caring, volunteer-driven organization;
  • to contribute funds for programs and services that respond to current, critical and emerging community needs; and
  • to improve the quality of life for all of our neighbors.

Who We Help

A combination of human and financial resources allows the United Way of the Halifax Region to tackle two main issues within HRM communities - poverty and health.
