Business support is powerful because it does two things at once. It helps United Way Alberta Northwest raise funds for local programs and community needs, and it shows staff, customers, and neighbours that your business is invested in the place we all call home.

Through Business 365, workplace campaigns, event sponsorships, fundraising, and volunteering, Grande Prairie businesses can help support children, families, seniors, and people in need across our region. Your support becomes part of a bigger circle of local care.

Business 365 is about more than a donation. It is a visible commitment to the community your business serves every day. ❤️

For as little as $1 a day, members of the 365 Small Business Circle help United Way Alberta Northwest support local needs while receiving recognition, a decal, digital logo, event invitations, website visibility, social media engagement, and Annual Report inclusion. It is a simple way to show your customers, staff, and neighbours that your business believes in Grande Prairie.

Grande Prairie businesses do so much more than open their doors each day. You employ local people, support local families, sponsor local events, donate time and resources, and help shape the kind of community we all want to live in. At United Way Alberta Northwest, we are lucky to partner with many businesses that care deeply about this region.

This month, we are shining a brighter light on how local businesses can support United Way through Business 365, workplace campaigns, fundraising, events, and community action. If your business has been looking for a simple, meaningful way to give back, we would love to talk.

Food insecurity is not always visible. It can look like a parent stretching groceries to make it through the week, a senior choosing carefully at the checkout, a student coming to school hungry, or a working household doing everything right and still feeling the pressure of rising costs.

In the 2023 Food Access & Affordability Survey, 2,188 Grande Prairie and area residents shared their experience. The results were clear: 57.49% of respondents said food was expensive or very expensive, 19.13% often had trouble affording food, and another 38.76% occasionally had trouble affording food. Residents rated our community’s food security at 4.8 out of 10, showing there was already important work to do locally.

Since 2023, food insecurity has continued to increase across Alberta and Canada. Recent national data shows Alberta had the highest provincial food insecurity rate in 2024, with 30.9% of people living in food-insecure households.

This is why local care matters. Through fundraising, events, workplace campaigns, Business 365, and community partnerships, United Way Alberta Northwest helps connect people and businesses who want to give back with local needs that matter.

If your business, workplace, or family has been looking for a way to help, we would love to connect with you.
