What
we do.
Donating spare change to people experiencing homelessness was once a simple but meaningful way for individuals to make an impact. But with less loose change in the pockets of millions of Canadians, that impact is no longer being felt.
Card for Change is the solution.
We turn small donations into gift cards that allow people experiencing homelessness to exercise their own agency while addressing some of their most pressing concerns.
And because we partner with a variety of shelters and outreach groups with established connections in the community, you can be assured that every card makes it into the hands of someone who needs it.
We turn your loose change into real change.
We need
YOU!
Poverty, hunger, and homelessness cost billions annually. Providing basic needs to the homeless has proven to help them escape poverty, secure housing, ensure food security, and invest in skills and training.
Card for Change’s innovative approach directs every donated dollar straight to those in need via a gift card.
And here’s where you come in: Just a few dollars a month from Canadians can provide safety, security, and stability to those in need.
With sufficient funds and support we can reduce poverty and end homelessness.
Let’s make change together.
If you have made it this far, chances are you want to directly impact the lives of people facing homelessness.
Giving those experiencing homelessness the means to meet their most basic needs has to make a lasting impact. It helps them move out of poverty, secure stable housing, become food secure, and invest in the skills and training they need.
