If you’ve ever considered volunteering, the process may seem difficult to navigate, or even overwhelming. United Way Greater Toronto (UWGT) offers a variety of engagement opportunities that make your commitment worth it.

United Way Greater Toronto (UWGT) is supporting Black-led and community-driven solutions in the Greater Toronto Area with a long-term vision for change. That advocacy is most visible in the Jane-Finch community, a historically marginalized neighbourhood undergoing major infrastructure development and demographic shifts.

There are thousands of women and children in our communities whose lives have been improved by a small group of dedicated changemakers that share a single goal: to transform women’s lives for 15 years.

United Way has been involved in Hubs throughout Greater Toronto since 2008, providing a one-stop-shop system where clients have access to a range of services, like food banks, community kitchens, computer rooms, and engagement opportunities such as knitting, and painting.

The United Way Greater Toronto's Community Real Estate initiative aims to secure spaces for nonprofits, charities and communities by acquiring real estate to keep these projects existing in an in-person environment.

If a newcomer arrives at a food bank where they receive familiar foods, then that immigrant feels more at home. This is one of the considerations when addressing food security.

United Way Greater Toronto believes every person deserves opportunity, access, and connection to building a good life, which is why UWGT funds agencies with developmental disability programs.

The Inclusive Local Economic Opportunity initiative (ILEO) created by United Way and BMO Financial Group is connecting artists with the opportunity to have their work featured in the offices of local companies. In the process, the artists are gaining exposure and business skills.

To understand the Greater Golden Mile’s evolution, it’s helpful to know how it all started. 

The Inclusive Local Economic Opportunity Initiative (ILEO) is a project in your neighbourhood that is connecting residents of the Greater Golden Mile with exciting opportunities.

The TTC is holding its annual pizza fundraiser in support of United Way every Wednesday at subway stations across the city.

Kamala Liyamage doesn’t go grocery shopping at a store. There aren’t any near her home, and that makes things difficult when she either has to carry all her bags back on her own, use the TTC or pay for a taxi ride. The 80-year-old’s trip goes from difficult to nearly impossible in the winter.
