Dec 29, 2022 | 3:19 PM

The United Way of Central Alberta says they will be receiving almost $185,000 from MEGlobal Canada ULC (MEGlobal) as a result of a record-setting campaign.

Officials say the 2022 MEGlobal Employee Charities Campaign generated $86,801 in employee contributions, $86,801 in matching funds from MEGlobal, along with an additional $11,065 raised in special company campaign events. The previous record was $161,000.

United Way of Central Alberta Chief Executive Officer Chelsea O’Donoghue said the support from MEGlobal is outstanding.

“We are so incredibly grateful for the support from MEGlobal and their generous, community-minded employees at the Prentiss site. To have a record-high employee workplace campaign in a year where so many are facing challenges is incredible. We could not be more thankful for their donation and enthusiasm for making a difference in our community,” she said.

Established in 1965, United Way Central Alberta says their mission is to improve lives and build community through engagement and mobilized collective action. They say all donations are invested by active community volunteers and directed into Central Alberta communities through programs geared towards the root causes of complex social issues.
