Denise Green is Campaign Director for United Way of Halifax Region. Originally from Lunenburg,NS, Canada, Denise devoted the early part of her career to the town she loves. In 1996 she founded Historic Grounds Coffee House, a popular Lunenburg waterfront café. She was awarded the Lunenburg Board of Trade’s Business Person of the Year in 2001 in recognition of her business acumen and commitment to the community.

Denise served as Executive Director of the St. John’s Anglican Church restoration project from 2002-2005. The National Historic Site was destroyed by fire in November 2001 and received global attention in 2004 when it was listed as one of the world’s 100 most endangered historic sites by the World Monuments Fund. The three-year, $6.8 million dollar project fused community and international support and ultimately restored the Church to prominence. Previous to joining United Way, Denise was the Interim Managing Director for the South Shore Regional Hospital and the Executive Director for the Lunenburg Arts Council focused on restoring the Historic Lunenburg Opera House.
