A Dollar a Day Foundation
Season 2, Episode 4
How Much Change can "A Dollar a Day" Make?
It turns out, quite a lot.
Based out of St John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, "A Dollar a Day Foundation" has a simple mission: to narrow the gap between the need for and the availability of frontline mental health and addictions programs across Canada.
Their approach is even simpler. They encourage people to give what they can, even one dollar every day. Combined with gifts from others, those donations add up to meaningful change.

Little Warriors
Season 2, Episode 3
Ending Child Sexual Abuse through Education, Advocacy, Treatment and Prevention
Based out of Sherwood Park, Alberta, "Little Warriors" provides treatment and support to families and victims of child sexual abuse. They operate the "Be Brave Rach", which according to Executive Director Dr Wanda Polzin Holman "is the only evidence-based episodic treatment centre for children and teens in the world that specifically focuses on child sexual abuse trauma treatment."
Treatment and support is important, but Little Warriors also pioneered the "Prevent It!" program, providing training and education that may make the difference in helping stop abuse before it happens.

Parkdale Food Services
Season 2, Episode 1
Ottawa's Parkdale Food Centre is fighting food insecurity in a different way. Rather than distributing hampers of pre-collected food, they allow their neighbours to select foods that are culturally significant or that cater to specific dietary needs. In this way, they operate more like a community grocery store than a traditional food bank.
