Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams.

Founded in 1940, the NFB is the transformative membership and advocacy organization of blind Americans with affiliates, chapters, and divisions in the fifty states, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico.

The Stop’s work is based on the belief that food is a basic human right. Each year over 14,000 people access our centre for food, social support and advocacy. Although not often attracting the kind of attention it deserves, the hunger crisis in Toronto is severe. A recent study of our food bank members showed that 51% of them go hungry at least once a week. This inability to consistently access food translates into problems such as poor health and social isolation -- issues that ultimately affect us all as a society. While The Stop is probably best known for its food bank, we also run breakfast and lunch programs, offer pre- and postnatal nutrition and support, facilitate group cooking classes and grow food in a local park and greenhouse for many of our programs. The Stop is a vibrant place that is a well-respected leader in the food security sector.

The Rainbow Society has been making dreams come true for Alberta children living with chronic or life-threatening illness since 1986. We were the first group of its kind in Canada. We differ from other wish granting organizations in that our mandate allows us to grant wishes to children who are living with chronic illness, as well as those with life-threatening illness. Wishes: · Must be in the best interest of the child. This is determined through consultation with the family and the child’s physician. · Include the immediate family, whenever possible. · Are granted quietly and without publicity. · Are not solicited. We work strictly on a referral basis. · Wish referrals can be made by the families themselves, a friend, relative, teacher or by someone from within the medical community. · Wish referrals cannot be made anonymously since we will not proceed without the prior knowledge and approval of the family involved.

On behalf of our clients, one-third of whom are children, we thank our donors for their continuing, great-hearted support.
