WoodGreen takes action for Toronto’s daunting UNMET social needs

WoodGreen Community Services is mobilizing community leaders and city change makers to elevate the conversation around the myriad of unmet social needs in Toronto and to be part of a movement to create a more equitable city.

The goal of the UNMET Needs Campaign is to bring attention to challenges in our city and shine a spotlight on the impact of the social service sector.

The basic human needs of thousands of our fellow Torontonians are not being met, in fact, they are shockingly unmet. WoodGreen is witnessing a dramatic increase in the demand for services stemming from pandemic disruptions that disproportionately affected the underserved neighbourhoods. With the wealth gap widening and the current economic situation creating alarming pressures, more and more people are UNhoused, UNemloyed, UNsafe, UNwelcome, and UNsupported in what is already known to be the least equitable city in the country.

WoodGreen is just one of the many front-line community agencies working to make Toronto a safer and more compassionate place. Accordingly, WoodGreen is taking an inclusive approach and hoping to bring urban discussion to the forefront for crucial investment into the whole social service sector.

Together, we can meet Toronto’s unmet needs.
