The pandemic made the issues at the root of poverty in the GTA unignorable—and hasn’t affected everyone equally. COVID-19 is exacerbating the inequities that divide our community, pushing people further into precarity.

Through groundbreaking research, strategic partnerships and the funding of agencies on the front lines, United Way Greater Toronto works every day—with communities in Peel, Toronto and York Region—to fight local poverty. United Way funding supports the people impacted by poverty and the neighbourhoods where they live—building and strengthening a network of local agencies that is the GTA's social safety net.

When you show your local love by making a donation, you’ll be supporting this important work: helping people and families across the GTA build back better and stronger from this pandemic.
