A message from NC’s United Way campaign committee:
Bench To Go held its first of two coffee drives in support of NC’s United Way workplace campaign from October 1-5. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to enjoy a hot coffee and flavourful doughnut. With your purchases, an amazing $934.22 will be donated to the United Way! Mark your calendar for the next Bench To Go coffee drive to take place from November 5-9.
Through Niagara Day donations, ongoing campus events and online payroll deductions, your NC United Way workplace campaign has raised a total of $27,451.18.
The campaign runs until December. Every dollar counts and goes a long way to helping those in need within our community.
There are many ways to give!
