United Way Symbol

During Campaign time, the United Way symbol is seen everywhere – but what does it mean? It is called the helping hand symbol and is used by United Ways around the world.

The rainbow overhead, emerging from the hand to shelter the figure, represents hope for a better tomorrow.
The centre image, based on the universal symbol of humanity, is cradled by the helping hand. It indicated that United Way cares about people, everywhere.
The bottom is a helping hand symbolizing United Way’s support of services and programs that in turn support the people in local communities. The United Way helping hand symbol – a symbol of hope, of service and of help to people in our communities.
