Join us for “Understanding and Addressing Jewish Poverty in Toronto Through Inter-Agency Collaboration,” the latest session in the One Community Cares: Knowledge Exchange speaker series.

 

The webinar will feature Noelene Mahon from Jewish Family and Child Service (JF&CS) and Karin Lewis from JVS Toronto, as they explore the current state of poverty within the Toronto Jewish community, shedding light on the personal, social, and communal challenges faced by individuals living in poverty. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how JF&CS and JVS Toronto are collaborating to address this issue, as well as the government services and benefits available to those facing economic hardship. 

Key takeaways from the presentation include:

 

  • An overview of the current state of poverty within the GTA Jewish community
  • Insights into how poverty affects individuals on a personal level, including mental health and emotional well-being
  • The broader implications of poverty on community engagement and participation in Jewish life
  • An in-depth look at the programs and services available to help low-income community members navigate these challenges
