United Way of Canada
Every year, Desjardins Insurance gives back by teaming up with charitable organizations such as United Way Toronto and York Region to help better our communities.
United Way partners with companies to engage the workforce in fundraising and creating awareness for the needs of the community in order to:
- Support those facing mental health challenges
- Provide services for newcomers and immigrants
- Prevent domestic violence and abuse
- Address issues of affordable housing and homelessness
- Promote literacy
