Our Future Vision

* To create a unified body which will serve the Jewish community with all its resources for the benefit and maintenance of the Jewish residents of Toronto and its suburbs.
* To establish and maintain an active network of communications between synagogues, as a result of which various aspects of Chesed can be obtained.
* To enhance and create a climate of Sholom Bayis with all the involved parties for the well-being and stability of the Jewish community in Toronto and be an example for other communities in North America.

United Chesed of Greater Toronto is the brainchild of Thornhill Dentist, Dr. Brian (Baruch) Price.  Dr. Price, implemented his vision to establish an umbrella organization, to serve the impoverished Jews in the GTA regardless of affiliation.  The organization was developed to serve two purposes, provide basic needs to people and act as a support network, able to connect individual with vital resources in the community.

For the past seven years, through its one stop referral service and working with the representatives from many organizations, United Chesed has helped thousands of individuals in desperate need of food, shelter, clothing, medical and social assistance.

November 12, 2005, Dr. Price and his team organized their first community awareness and networking event at the North York Civic Centre.  The Keynote speaker, Mr. Paul Godfrey, CEO of the Toronto Blue Jays, said “he was impressed with United Chesed’s mandate to unify Jewish charities to educate the community.  It is with great hope and faith in the ENTIRE community that United Chesed firmly believes that no child, adult or elderly individual will be without bread on their table.”
