During COVID-19, we took proactive steps to ensure accessibility for all. We transformed essential reading materials into online formats and alternative options such as large print or braille. These materials were then mailed to membership holders of organizations like CNIB, RAPLIQ, and DABC, spreading crucial awareness and information where it's needed most.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Embrace Unity Canada delivered 96,000 masks nationwide, funded legal aid for over 4,000 individuals, and converted 8,000+ documents to alternative digital formats.
