We would like to invite all Labour presidents and leaders to the annual Labour Presidents' United Way Campaign Kickoff Breakfast and presentation of the first Daniele Zanotti Award.
Toronto & York Region Labour Council was a founding partner of United Way Greater Toronto in 1956, and since then, has worked together to fight poverty and strengthen our communities. After 69 years of our shared commitment to social justice and community support, we're asking you, as leaders of the Labour Movement, to help kickoff the 2025 United Way Greater Toronto fundraising campaign.
We hope to see you on October 15 to stand united to help address poverty ANY WAY WE CAN with Labour's charity of choice, United Way Greater Toronto. Click on the RSVP button below to attend.

$100 provides one child with a nutritious after-school snack while they participate in weekly programming for 12 weeks, or provides Good Food Box for six families, increasing access to fresh, locally grown, culturally diverse produce.
$2,000 provides 30 youth with the opportunity to cook an affordable, nutritious and tasty meal once a week for 40 weeks.
$10,000 provides ingredients for 10 six-week community kitchen programs, supporting150 youth in learning to prepare healthy meals.
