In Jane-Finch and beyond, United Way supports Black-led community solutions

The Toronto Observer recently spoke with community leaders about how United Way Greater Toronto is supporting Black-led, resident-driven solutions in the Jane-Finch community. Through the $1-million Jane-Finch Community Action Grant, local initiatives are addressing systemic issues like employment barriers, food justice, housing, and community safety. The Jane/Finch Centre is proud to be part of this important, community-led work.
