Today, Giving Tuesday, marks the beginning of our Food Baskets for Seniors Campaign. Only today all donations made will be matched 1% by CanadaHelps!

To support this cause, please find the link in our bio to our CanadaHelps donation page.

Seniors have been disproportionally affected by the challenges of the pandemic and its recovery, experiencing a large increase in isolation, food insecurity and mental health concerns because of a mix of the worsening cost-of-living crisis, a lack of support, mobility issues and harsh weather conditions during cold winter months. Food Baskets for Seniors aims to support Regent Park seniors most affected by these circumstances by providing contactless delivery of healthy weekly food baskets during the harsh winter months.

All contributions are highly appreciated, and we thank you for the support of your neighbours!

For any questions about the campaign, please contact Anna at anna@tccld.org

Today marks the International Day for the Eliminat

Today marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

Supporting and investing in strong, autonomous women’s rights organizations and feminist movements is key to ending violence against women and girls, which is why this year's theme is "UNITE! Activism to End Violence against Women & Girls."

This year's theme aims to mobilize all of society to become activists for the prevention of violence against women, to stand in solidarity with women’s rights activists and to support feminist movements around the world to resist the rollback on women’s rights and calling for a world free from violence against women and girls.

Please visit the link in our bio to learn more about today and how you can participate.

World Kindness Day is an international holiday tha

World Kindness Day is an international holiday that was formed in 1998, to promote kindness throughout the world and is observed annually on November 13 as part of the World Kindness Movement.

The objective of World Kindness Day is to spread kindness with small gestures. The main tradition of the day is to be kind and to try and encourage kindness to prevail over hatred. Whether it’s helping out someone with chores, taking the time out to ask how someone is doing, or complimenting someone, the name of the game is kindness, and we all have it in us.

What will you do to spread some kindness?
