Support The Mission

Ready to make a difference? There are so many ways you can help bring
The Building Block to life and strengthen our community.

Whichever way you choose, you’ll be joining a caring network of neighbours, friends and local heroes who believe every child deserves a safe, welcoming place to learn, play and grow.

  • Give a Monetary Donation
    Choose a one-time donation or set up a monthly gift at whatever level feels right for you. Every dollar helps us build safe spaces, stock community kitchens, and expand child care for Thunder Bay families. See below for more information.

  • Volunteer Your Time
    Join our crew of passionate volunteers to help with events, kitchen prep, play-area landscaping—or share your unique skills behind the scenes.

  • Partner or Sponsor
    Does your business or group want to support us? From event sponsorships to matching-gift programs, we have options that align with your goals and showcase your commitment to community.

  • Host a Fundraiser
    Rally your friends, family or colleagues: bake sales, themed dinners, art auctions—even a neighbourhood fun run—every fundraiser brings us one step closer to our $2.7 million goal.
