At Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) we have a unique connection to our surrounding community. Situated in the core of the densest urban area in Canada we have an obligation to be engaged with and support our local community members.
The pandemic did not impact us all equally. It hit hardest in low-income neighbourhoods, making the inequities and systemic barriers at the root of poverty in the GTA undeniable. It created even greater challenges for those already struggling with poverty, hunger and homelessness. In short, our community needs our help.
TMU is a long-standing supporter of United Way Greater Toronto. Since 2015 we have raised over $1 million for local United Way agencies (external link) through our annual giving campaign. Your gift to United Way Greater Toronto funds a GTA-wide network of community agencies that work locally to provide everything from food and mental health counselling to shelter and vital outreach services.
Please consider supporting TMU’s 2024 United Way Campaign so that those who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 receive the help they need.

"How can we do more? We can multiply our own impact by continuing to support United Way agencies that, like us, know how important it is to lift up our friends, neighbours and family during times of instability and crisis."
