A healthy serving of generosity

Your generosity makes a difference every single day
When you give to United Way Toronto, you help support a network of 200 community-based health and social service agencies located across our city. Your support and commitment helps United Way agencies ensure the well-being of children and young people, provide family and support services for new immigrants, offer shelter to abused women and children, allow seniors and people with disabilities to live independently, and help the homeless find the support they need to make a better life. Your gift also enables United Way to set priorities, address root causes and make positive and lasting change.
Donors like you gave an astounding $107.5 million to United Way in 2008. This includes funds donated to our network of 200 agencies, other United Ways, and other registered charities as designated by our donors.
