About Overcomers United

Veronica Bloomfield is the founder of Overcomers United (OU), an incorporated grassroots non-profit run solely by volunteers. We aim to build community capacity and empower and support individuals experiencing difficult circumstances due to being economically deprived achieve sustainable livelihoods through their entrepreneurial aspirations and goals, whether those center on being self-employed, bringing a business idea to life, opening an artist’s studio, or making and selling hand-crafted products, amongst other entrepreneurial pursuits. In supporting such entrepreneurial ventures, OU aims to impact an individual, their family and the larger community, as well as ensure that the projects supported are environmentally sustainable. The organization also seeks to collaborate with and donate to individuals, groups or organizations around wide-ranging needs, as resources permit. Veronica started the organization in 2019 as a tribute to her late mother, Ilene Bloomfield, with the help of family, friends and members of the community. Prior to starting OU, Veronica held a variety of positions in administration across different entities and spanning diverse sectors such as insurance, business, charities, non-profits and all levels of government. She is passionate about volunteering in the community, a role that she has undertaken throughout her life. She currently volunteers at the University Health Network (UHN) as a Patient Partner, and come tax season, you can find her running a tax clinic and helping with income tax preparation through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP). Overcomers United believes in equitable, prosperous and environmentally sustainable communities where community bonds are strengthened and connections across the generations are formed; where all those who need a helping hand find an open door; and where all individuals are empowered to live their entrepreneurial dreams. OU's motto is: "People helping people leads to success".
