Help us raise money

Hello! We are a group of runners from the Sanofi, a global healthcare and pharmaceutical company. Our team is running the waterfront marathon and we have partnered with United Way Greater Toronto to help ameliorate poverty in the GTA.

Many of us have faced economic challenges in the recent years since the pandemic, yet the least fortunate of us in our community have been impacted the most. With rising housing costs and food insecurity, we observe that 1 in 4 families live in poverty. 

United Way is an organization that is tackling this issue through a plethora of programs and services. Here are some examples:

- A network of 300+ frontline agencies which provide our neighbours with food, shelter and mental health support

- Community hubs which provide everything from after-school programs to citizenship classes

- Peel Community Benefits Network is making sure the Hurontario LRT leads to jobs for residents and support for local businesses

- Inclusive local economic opportunity in Scarborough provides training and jobs for residents.

For more information, check out their website. They have a great archive of videos of these services in action: A UNITED WAY - United Way Greater Toronto (unitedwaygt.org)
