Through our partnership with DoorDash Canada, these moments were brought to life for over 100 families at 28 Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies across Canada. Through innovative campaigns and community initiatives, this partnership delivered dignity-driven solutions to address the needs of many families in Canada. “Community Credits”, used like gift cards, reduced barriers to accessing groceries, meals, and household essentials, giving families the freedom to choose what best supports their wellbeing.
For many, the impact went beyond food security. DoorDash also created opportunities for youth to attend live sporting events through the Northern Super League initiative. For many young girls, seeing women compete in high-level athletic positions built a greater sense of confidence and increased aspiration to achieve their own goals.
"For some families this meant sitting down together for a proper dinner for the first time that week. It wasn’t just about food. It was about feeling normal again." -Big Brothers Big Sisters agency staff
Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies emphasized that support in any capacity can have a meaningful effect on families facing adversity, with one staff member sharing: “For some families this meant sitting down together for a proper dinner for the first time that week. It wasn’t just about food. It was about feeling normal again.”
Together, we can create meaningful impact, helping families today while empowering young people to see what’s possible tomorrow.
We want to thank all our partners like DoorDash Canada who help reach youth who need us most.
