Canada

The foundation for a brighter future begins at home.

That’s why our programs in Canada are designed to nurture youth, equipping them with the skills and tools they need to become financially independent, self-sufficient, and resilient.

From the classroom to the workforce, we’re committed to fostering well-rounded, capable individuals. Our educational initiatives lay the groundwork by supporting academic success and encouraging personal growth. As students transition into adulthood, our job readiness programs provide them with the practical skills, mentorship, and opportunities needed to navigate today’s job market with confidence.

As food prices continue to soar in Canada, the need for food assistance has become more urgent than ever. Many families find themselves stretched thin, and food banks are experiencing unprecedented demand. At IDRF, we are deeply committed to ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry. To that end, we regularly organize food drives in collaboration with local organizations across Canada. These drives are specifically aimed at supporting low-income households.

Our food drives are a community effort, bringing together volunteers, donors, and partner organizations to collect and distribute essential food items.
