**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
-Rake someone's lawn
-Pick up shopping and other essentials
-Call someone for a chat
-Leave a kind note for someone who could use an encouraging word

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. These materials will help to spread kindness across Canada and our global Mary's Meals family.

Time Commitment:

Qualifications:

Volunteer Drivers are needed in the communities of Cambridge Narrows, Hanwell, Kingsclear, Oromocto, and New Maryland to provide door to door transportation service, primarily to seniors needing rides to essential services.

Volunteers offer “more than a drive” to passengers – they offer independence, security, support, and the ability to age-in place. They are caring, community-minded people.  Some choose to volunteer because they have seen the consequences of insufficient transportation services negatively impacting the quality of life of their own families. Others are neighborly individuals who wish to remain involved in their community in significant ways.

There are no specific physical requirements necessary. Passengers are required to be physically able to get in and out of a vehicle independently. If they are not independent, a support person is required to join them. This type of assistance is not required of the Volunteer Driver. 

Volunteer Drivers communicate their level of availability to offer drive service.  It can be as frequent as they wish or limited to only a certain day or days of the week.  No booking is made without the driver confirming their agreement to the ride in advance.  Rides are booked to occur Monday to Friday between 9 am to 5pm. Drivers are reimbursed for mileage expenses monthly.

 What qualifications are needed to become a Volunteer Driver?

The following are requirements: 

Note: A reimbursement up to $80 per year can be provided if a volunteer incurs an insurance liability increase. Reimbursement for background checks is available. An Insurance Consumer Advocate is available if any issues arise relating to a Volunteer Driver’s personal insurance company.

Do you enjoy problem-solving? Do you like to design or build custom projects? And, most importantly, are you interested in using teamwork and collaboration to help people in our community?

We are looking for volunteers interested in helping design and build customized devices and/or equipment for members of the community. Here are some examples of projects completed across Canada: https://tetrasociety.org/success-stories/

Here is the process:

A person with physical disability (or their health professional, family member or care worker) contacts us requesting an assistive device to help overcome a particular mobility-related obstacle they are experiencing. Tetra connects a volunteer to work with a client one-on-one to discuss the challenge and identify possible solutions. From design to build the volunteer (sometimes in a team with other volunteers) and the client work together to find a customized solution. 

Tetra raises funds to help ensure that volunteers are reimbursed for costs associated with materials (up to a maximum limit of $500) and travel associated with a client project. During your volunteer orientation we’ll walk you through the process of submitting receipts for reimbursement. All the projects created by our volunteers (built or mentored by a skilled professional) is covered by insurance from design to fabrication of assistive devices.

Does this sound like an opportunity for you? If so, please respond to this need or contact us at FrederictonNB@tetrasociety.org

Our animal friends benefit greatly from positive human interactions.
