Partner Spotlight: Halpenny — Investing in the Community We Share
For more than 100 years, Halpenny has been part of the Ottawa community. That long history has created a deep sense of connection and a belief that being a local business means caring for the people who call this city home.
Halpenny’s support of the Youth Services Bureau (YSB) is rooted in seeing the difference YSB makes in the lives of young people across Ottawa.
“We see the impact that YSB has in our community and in the lives of youth,” shared Matt Picciano, President of Halpenny Benefits & Retirements Specialists . “It’s incredibly important to support the organizations that care for and assist young people.”
For Halpenny, giving back isn’t separate from doing business. It is part of creating a workplace culture grounded in generosity, compassion and shared responsibility. Its employees live and work in this community, and many know someone; a friend, family member or neighbour who may need support at some point in their life.
That understanding makes the partnership personal.
Halpenny believes strong communities are built when people and organizations support those around them. By investing in YSB, the company is helping young people access mental health services, safe housing, employment support and youth justice programs when they need them.
This kind of community-minded generosity helps make Ottawa a stronger and more caring place to live and work.
YSB is grateful to Halpenny for standing alongside young people and showing what it means to invest in the community we share.
