Our vision at Brands for Canada is to create a sustainable world where surplus goods are purposefully used to eliminate poverty and inequality. We achieve this by providing new donated clothing, personal care items and houseware items, at no cost, to those in need. In 2020, we were able to help more than 100,000 Canadians in need with clothing and basic needs items and divert over 331,000 lbs of items from the landfills.

Brands for Canada receives 900,000 items annually and is in need of volunteer groups to assist with sorting, tagging, bagging, and packing care packs that include items such as clothing and personal care products. These items are distributed to clients living in poverty through our 100+ partner agencies and schools. This opportunity can be done in person at our warehouse facility or virtually via Zoom. This is a fun and practical way to help those in need. It is ideal for groups of people and a great team-building exercise.

The Garden Club of Cape Coral will host our 14th annual “March in the Park” fundraiser on Saturday, March 12th, 2022 from 9 am - 3 pm at Jaycee Park in Cape Coral. This “rain or shine” event is a marketplace and information fair designed for the community to learn, shop and share talents.
Our goal is to raise funds to support our community outreach projects with a fun event showcasing plants, products and services that SWFL gardeners and environment friendly shoppers will love. (Community outreach please see below event description)
Event Description:
Participants include over 100 garden club members who volunteer to make this event a success. Area merchants, craftspeople, landscapers, and commercial vendors surround the park paths with products to purchase. Food vendors provide refreshments, music and sponsor/informational announcements are broadcast on a sound system for all to hear as they enjoy the venue. We will host approximately 2000 attendees.
Free gardening demonstrations from master gardeners, high school teachers and their students, and professionals who have knowledge on particular plants, such as those that attract butterflies, provide 30 minute programs throughout the day.
A children's activity booth is a favorite for families with young children. Crafts related to nature such as butterflies or birds have been popular, along with face painting.
The highlight for many is the Garden Club's plant booth. 6 months prior to the event, Garden Club members cultivate plants at their homes, by seed or division and pot over 1000 plants to sell at the event. They are inspected on the event morning by US inspectors to be cleared free of disease or pests. The variety of local SWFL pollinator plants, orchids, bromeliads, herbs and flowers at a nominal cost for a good cause is a highlight for the attendees who return year after year for "March in the Park".
Word of mouth is our best form of advertising as well as news articles in the local paper and social media.
“March in the Park”, our only fundraiser, supports members’ work throughout the year to achieve community goals such as:
• Provide Marty Ward Merit Awards to students pursuing higher education in programs in Horticulture, Agriculture and Environmental Studies
• Maintain the Cape Coral Library Butterfly Garden
• Maintain the Cape Coral Historical Society Museum Rose Garden
• Donate funds and work time to Habitat for Humanity Home landscapes
• Support Camp Wekiva, a nature-oriented summer camp
• Support local school garden programs with monetary grants
• “Cups of Cheer” Assisted Living Outreach

Project Canis is a new nonprofit organization started by students at the University of Florida to ensure that every shelter animal has a toy. ​Project Canis helps cats and dogs in Florida shelters by making and donating pet toys made from recycled materials. Many animal shelters struggle to get donations and are not financially able to provide toys, which are essential to animals' emotional and physical well-being.

Anyone can participate in Project Canis remotely by sending in toys they made individually or as a service project with their organization. We have three toy designs: the braid, the plushie, and the crunch that can be made easily with recycled materials such as old t-shirts and plastic water bottles. Making the toys is super easy and fun, and participating in Project Canis is a great way for organizations to give back to the community.

To volunteer with Project Canis, all you have to do is use our easy toy-making instructions found here: https://www.projectcanis.org/volunteer.html

Once you have made your toys, you can mail them to us, and we will mail you back a free sticker! If you want a record of your service hours or if you instead donate your toys to a local shelter, please email us at theprojectcanis@gmail.com with the number of toys you made and where you donated them.

Follow us @theprojectcanis on Facebook and Instagram, and send in your own toy-making photos to be featured!
