With the Seneca United Way Campaign, you and your colleagues can come together to donate, volunteer and give back. This is your chance to support a community where we live, learn and work.

From Monday, October 21 to Thursday, November 21, we ask for your generosity to support over 300 United Way agencies. These agencies work in priority neighbourhoods in the Greater Toronto Area supporting 1.8 million people.

During this time, you can make a personal donation to the United Way campaign directly or support a colleague or student participating in the United Way ClimbUP challenge.

Join Team Seneca on Saturday, November 9, and rise to two of our region’s tallest challenges: conquering all 1,776 steps of the CN Tower and lifting people from poverty to a life filled with possibility. Are you UP for the challenge?

This year we have a goal of raising $4,000. Participants will raise a minimum of $100 each and there are top prizes for the top three fundraising challengers. For more information or to sign up, visit our team page

Giving kids a good start in life is one of the best ways to ensure they grow into healthy, successful adults. To provide a strong transition into adulthood for communities, United Way is investing in after-school programs, counselling services for parents and their children and mentorship.

United Way is working to fight poverty by helping families in our communities to secure food, employment and affordable housing. Their goal is to provide individuals and families with the tools to become economically independent, including job and literacy training, access to affordable housing and food security.

United Way is working to improve the quality of life for individuals and families across Canada. They support programs and projects that help seniors maintain their independence, facilitate settlement services for immigrants and provide individuals with mental health challenges and disabilities with the supports and counselling they need.
