VOLUNTEER WITH ANIDA

Be part of something bigger. Change lives—starting with your own.

WHY VOLUNTEER WITH US?

At ANIDA, volunteering is more than giving your time—it’s living out purpose through service. Whether you’re helping behind the scenes or engaging directly with our programs, your impact goes far beyond the moment. Every volunteer helps create lasting change in the lives of children, families, and communities.

OUR WORK

HOPE FOR TOMORROW

Our child sponsorship program supports children and strengthens communities. Volunteers help share their stories, support events, and assist with outreach.

COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT

We support families—especially women—through skills training, mentoring, and economic support. Volunteers contribute through program assistance, communications, and outreach.

FOOD SECURITY & COMMUNITY CARE

From food banks in Toronto and Ottawa to broader care initiatives, volunteers help meet urgent needs with compassion and dignity.

OUR VOLUNTEER SAYS

“As a recent retiree, I wanted to give back in a more hands-on way. It’s easy to write a cheque—but it feels great to roll up your sleeves and serve. Volunteering with ANIDA has offered variety—bread nights, food packing, even joining the scholarship committee—and it’s connected me with people I might never have met in my professional life. Everyone has a story. And anyone can be that extra set of hands to make a difference.”

Volunteer

“I’ve been a student volunteer with the ANIDA food bank for over a year. It’s been more than a way to give back—it’s been a chance to grow. The environment here teaches teamwork, connection, and purpose. I’ve built lasting friendships and learned what it means to serve my community. I’d recommend this experience to any student looking for something meaningful, flexible, and rewarding.”
