For over a century, the Community Relief Fund of Toronto United Church Council has been an important partner with United Church congregations and agencies in their efforts to improve the human condition. The Fund contributes to the costs of retrofitting church property in order to equip the site for social ministry - to provide food, shelter, clothing and emergency help to those who have need. It has been a channel for compassion and effective ministry. Grant applications are made by way of letter, together with a description of the project, other financing partners, and a project budget.
The Community Relief Fund has currently made a major grant commitment to the Toronto Christian Resource Centre in Regent Park which will be the fund's priority to 2015. To learn more about the CRC's initiative in Regent Park, click here.
Working together we can make a difference.
Individuals, congregations and church groups are invited to contribute to the Community Relief Fund to support this work. To support the Relief Fund, or for additional information on the program, please contact Jim Patterson at jim@tucc.ca or by calling 905-771-5124.
Located in the Heart of Phase 1 of the Regent Park Revitalization, 40 Oaks will contain 87 units of affordable housing. A community `hub`on the first two levels will create a warm, inviting `community living room`for all residents of Regent Park, helping build their lives and create a vibrant community.
