About me

Introduction United Chesed of Toronto is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to fostering a community that supports and stabilises those struggling with poverty. They offer urgent and short-term relief to families and individuals in crises situations, responding with immediacy, care, and discretion to the pleas of Jews from all walks of life and affiliations. Each year, UCT distributes over $50,000 in food coupons and other forms of financial assistance. It also facilitates thousands of donations of furniture, household items, medical equipment and other recyclable goods through its extensive online network, and runs a number of annual drives including a High Holiday Food Drive, School Supplies Drive, Toy Drive, and Toiletries Drive. Chesed means kindness or charity in Hebrew.
