COVID-19 response: List of funded programs
In response to the increased need caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, United Way launched an emergency fund—the Local Love Fund—to support vulnerable people across Peel, Toronto and York Region. The dollars raised go to our network of 280 community agencies, funding new programs and helping to increase access to much-needed services.
In addition to this emergency funding, United Way acted as a trusted partner to the federal government, helping to allocate funding from the Government of Canada's New Horizons for Seniors Program and federal Reaching Home investments in York Region, as part of Canada’s Homelessness Strategy.
Most recently, we are proud to have partnered with United Way Centraide Canada and the Government of Canada to deliver the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund (ECSF) in Peel, Toronto and York Region.
