Thank you to the Labour Movement - that means you - union members across the Toronto & York Region that make up the powerful body fighting for a just and equitable society. As Labour's charity of choice, we had a goal to help United Way Greater Toronto reach their 2022 campaign goal of $110M in supporting the very communities union members access, live and work in and we're happy to share they're on pace to reaching their goal.
Toronto & York Region Labour Council was a founding member of United Way Greater Toronto in 1956. We all share a vision and drive that doesn't shy away from tackling what may seem impossible challenges. Our work together led to a formal partnership and the creation of Labour Community Services (LCS) in 1982. That legacy continues on through the work we do today.
As we gear towards preparing for the 2023 campaign season, we look forward to working with you all again. United Way Greater Toronto's work is all year round and needs all of us to ensure our communities continue to thrive.
