This is the President’s Club, brought to you by Napanee Home Furniture and Appliances. Today we’re featuring John DiPaolo…President and CEO of the United Way Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington.
The United Way KFL&A is more than just a fundraiser. DiPaolo says the organization works with over 54 agencies to support people in need across the region.
DiPaolo, who has worked with the United Way for 15 years, says he is driven by a desire to build a better future for our youth and the community. “It’s incredibly rewarding to make a difference every day,” he said.
One of its newest projects is the Portable Outreach Care Center (PORCH), a mobile unit that delivers healthcare and social services to rural and underserved areas. The United Way has also helped lower youth homelessness by partnering with local groups.
A major initiative is the One Roof Youth Hub at Albert and Princess streets, which brings together 12 agencies under one roof. Home Base Housing is also building 38 supportive housing units on-site.
