About This Cause
WE WAKE UP TO A DIFFERENT ALARM. Soaring housing costs. Food insecurity. Skyrocketing costs of living. One in four families in the GTA live in poverty. At United Way Greater Toronto, these issues keep us up at night. But they are also what gets us up each day, determined to fight poverty across Peel, Toronto and York Region. And we are giving it everything we got. To connect 1.8 million people each year to food, housing, good jobs, mental health supports and more. To protect community spaces, ensuring our network of 300 social service agencies delivering over 650+ vital programs and services can continue to be there when people need them most, close to home. To rise up to meet urgent and emerging needs with innovative solutions. Building community takes community – and together, we will do what it takes to ensure that everyone, in every neighbourhood, has everything they need to thrive. Any way we can. **** UNITED WAY CLIMBUP is back!
