Volunteer: Help Mary's Meals through Little Acts of Kindness**Please note, Mary's Meals provides a daily meal at school to hundreds of thousands of children in some of the world's poorest communities. As such, we are not equipped to match volunteers to people in need for this initiative, but rather are relying on kind-hearted Canadians to seek out opportunities to spread acts of kindness in their communities, while gently bringing attention to our life-saving work of feeding children around the world who are in need of food and education.** To view a short film about he work of Mary's Meals, please see https://youtu.be/vye5Wb5ssz8 Looking for ways to keep in touch with your community – and continue supporting children that depend on Mary’s Meals – in these unprecedented times? In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us are adjusting to life at home. The current situation is scary and uncertain but, together, we can get through it. As increasing numbers of people find themselves self-isolating and unable to go outside, we would like to pool our resources and do something practical to support them – but we need your help. With Little Acts of Kindness, we hope to give people here in Canada an opportunity to stay connected and support one another, while also helping to support the children who depend on Mary's Meals through raising awareness of our work. If you are healthy, have extra time on your hands and would like to give something back to others in your community, could you consider helping others in need by carrying out little acts of kindness like these: -Walk someone’s dog When you request a free Little Acts of Kindness kit, you'll receive an information letter and some Mary's Meals brochures and donation cards to leave behind when performing your acts of kindness.

Volunteer: Clothesline Drop Box ChampionClothesline Drop Box ChampionThe Clothesline Drop Box Champion supports the donation of gently used clothing, electronics and small household items to the Clothesline program. As a Clothesline Drop Box Champion, you will support Clothesline donation boxes in your community by keeping an eye on the boxes and reporting when the box needs service (because it has bags or boxes stacked outside the box, is full or has been defaced by graffiti). This would be something that an individual could do while going about their daily activities, by calling in when a box is in need of attention.

Volunteer: In Clinic VolunteersVolunteering with Canadian Blood Services means helping Give Life—whether you’re supporting blood donors during the donation process, recruiting people for blood or stem cell donations, organizing a blood donor clinic in your community, or raising awareness of the importance of blood donation.
Customer care and service are vitally important to supporting Canada’s blood system — especially during the donation process. Greeting donors with a smile, making conversation, and accompanying and encouraging them throughout the donation process helps them feel welcome and comfortable. The care and attention you give is very often a key reason why donors return. As one of the last faces donors see on their way out, you play a critical role in the success of future blood donor clinics.
