April is here and here's your rundown of awareness days taking place this month. How will you show your support?

Fancy a bit of spring cleaning? Today we're sharing some very useful eco-friendly cleaning tips from @green_venture

Because we all need a little cheering on sometimes!

Today we're inspired by Upal, who saved her pocket money to purchase food which she later donated to @foodbanksmississauga

For #WorldDownSyndromeDay let's rewrite the narrative, break the stereotypes, and celebrate the uniqueness of every individual with Down Syndrome.

The #AssumeThatICan campaign encourages us to #EndTheStereotypes and create positive assumptions about people with Down syndrome.

Today's inspiration comes from @twobirdsonestonefarm who left flowers outside their store for passers-by to pick up.

Who would you give your free flower to?
Spread a little love by tagging them in the comments below. 💕

For this party, Rosie used repurposed materials for the decorations. Inside, kids crafted cardboard cutouts of their initials and outside they set up a recycling collection center where paper, plastic, and metal had to be sorted. via @studio_rosie (IG)

An important message about kindness from @drjoe_md 🙏❤️

We love this idea!
For Guerrilla Gardening Day 2011 Kabloom offered free seed bombs to the community. Planting seeds in the community helped restore ecosystems, support pollinators and also encouraged people to think about the ways they could help prevent climate change.

Could you spread a little love in your community this weekend?
Today's inspiration comes from cjay01.real (Instagram)

By gathering new pairs of socks, we can provide comfort and dignity to those in need, especially during the colder months.
Could you host a sock drive at your place of work?

Did you know, there are many wonderful ways you could help animals in need this year?

Whether you spend time volunteering at a local shelter, offer to pet-sit, sponsor an animal or train a guide dog, your help is invaluable and makes a huge impact.

Let's brighten up the world, one smile at a time!

A positivity jar is a great way to spread joy and gratitude in the community.
Each uplifting message could brighten someone's day and help create a ripple of positivity. ✨

850,000 individuals work in Ontario's nonprofit sector and these workers dedicate their time to serving, connecting, and supporting all Ontarians.
As #NAW2024 comes to a close, we once again say THANK YOU to everyone who's helped the nonprofit sector flourish in Ontario.

Next time you do a Spring clean, why not consider donating unwanted items to a local charity store?
Today's inspiration comes from @kidneyclothes , a charity collecting used textiles in ONT & AB and repurposing them into support for Canadians living with kidney disease.

This week, we're celebrating Nonprofit Appreciation Week.

A simple way to spread kindness could be to start a kindness rock garden.
While painting the rocks can be a therapeutic exercise, sharing the rocks with others could bring a little unexpected joy to their day.
