Merger

At United Way, we’re concerned about the impact of poverty on our residents and communities across the region. Poverty does not recognize boundaries. The issues in Peel, Toronto and York Region are interconnected.

For that reason, both the Boards of United Way of Peel Region and United Way Toronto & York Region agreed, unanimously, to merge as of April 1st, 2018, to become United Way Greater Toronto. So that we can strengthen our scale, our strategies and our supports across the region to fight poverty in all of its forms.

As examples of our work, we have continued our investments, locally, to our agencies in Peel Region. We’ve continued working with our Community Advisory Councils, on the ground, for the South Asian, Chinese and Black communities. And we have continued to provide leadership to Peel’s Poverty Reduction Strategy—a community-wide, region-wide approach to bring together government, community agencies and people with lived experience to address issues of poverty facing our region.

Your support helps fuel collaborations, supporting and providing resources across the region, helping us gain insights and lessons learned from our work in fighting poverty.

A regional lens for local impact—to strengthen the lives of our community residents and our communities.
