Veronica Bloomfield
Veronica Bloomfield is the founder of Overcomers United (OU), a new non-profit startup, working with low income people to help realize big entrepreneurial dreams. 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. Overcomers United is presently a grassroots, community group run solely by volunteers.
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 – her personal motto is “people helping people leads to success for all.” 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). Her vision for Overcomers United is to empower low income individuals to produce items from which they generate income, improve the quality of their lives, the environment and the lives of those in our communities.
