Celebrating 20 years of kindness in action

Together, we’ve fed a generation. Let’s feed the future.

Empowering youth. Feeding communities.

For 20 years now, The Gift of Giving Back has been inspiring youth to step up, give back, and make a difference. What started with a little red wagon and a dream has grown into one of Canada’s largest community food drives. Together with schools, sports teams, community groups, and generous donors, we’ve collected millions of pounds of food for local agencies, helping families right here at home.

If you want to lead a growing, youth-led organization working to empower youth and feed communities, this opportunity is for you! 🌟

The Gift of Giving Back is hiring a Managing Director to help lead our mission forward. This is a rare opportunity to step into a leadership role where you’ll shape the future of a youth-led movement that’s making a real impact across our community.

We are looking for a forward-thinking community leader to help The Gift expand its impact. The Managing Director will be the driving force behind our mission; working closely with our Board and lead volunteers, building partnerships, and helping bring our events and initiatives to life.

If you care about community, youth leadership, and creating meaningful change, we want to hear from you.

This National Volunteer Week, let's talk impact. 💪

🚀 Our youth volunteers raised over $1M+ in value for families facing food insecurity across Burlington, Oakville, Milton, Georgetown, and Halton Hills in 2025 alone.

That's the power of young people leading with compassion. Let's see what we will achieve in 2026!

It's National Volunteer Week 2026, and we're celebrating the youth leaders who make our mission possible. 🌟

Youth volunteers don't just help at The Gift of Giving Back, they LEAD. They action our food drives, rally their communities, and show us what compassion and care looks like.

This week, we're honoured to celebrate every young person who's chosen to give back!
