The United Way of Greater Toronto (UWGT) is the largest non-governmental funder and supporter of social services in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). For more than 40 years, employees at the Region of Peel have been raising funds in support of United Way, through running an annual United Campaign. Funds raised support individuals and families living in poverty in our communities.  

The Peel nonprofit sector remains financially challenged even as it transitions in the post recovery phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. This sector will need financial recovery support as it implements a recovery plan. Vulnerable communities are affected differently by the pandemic and continue to be at risk, as they deal with the demand for services with limited financial resources. 

In 2021, admidst the challenges of the pandemic, our Employee Campaign raised $227, 799 and was a success on many levels. Money raised benefits the Peel community and ensures the United Way member agencies continue to deliver programs and services to support individuals and families - enabling them to thrive.

This year, our Campaign will run for five weeks starting in the month of September 2022. Our annual United Way pledge funds Campaign reaches more than 5,000 employees. The continued success depends on contributions from sponsors who generously donate items to support the Campaign.

As the our Campaign doesn't kick off until the Fall, we would appreciate if the expiry dates on any prize donations can be made for December 31,2023, so that the prize winners have time to use the donation.
