Face-to-Face Fundraising
Action Against Hunger Canada is conducting face-to-face campaigns across the nation with Canadian leaders in door to door fundraising to increase awareness of the programs and the work we do in our fight against hunger worldwide.
Along with increased awareness about Action Against Hunger Canada, our canvassers are trained to go across Canada asking for monthly support from potential donors. The monthly gifts acquired through these campaigns allow Action Against Hunger Canada to continue critical work including fighting hunger and the root causes worldwide; educating on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Gender Inequality; and supporting our WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) programs across the world.
As a monthly donor your benefits include:
- Receive one annual tax receipt to make things convenient at income tax time.
- Special communications, from time to time, with news about Action Against Hunger Canada and the impact of your monthly donations.
When you choose to become an Action Against Hunger Canada monthly donor you join an important group of individuals who have made the commitment to change the future and fight malnutrition.
