Home Again.  Two simple words.  But establishing a home isn’t always simple.  For those in transition from situations of abuse, homelessness, prison or war, for the un and under-employed or for those with disabilities, the struggle to create a new life is just starting. Part of this struggle involves establishing a home. For those lacking the means or social connections to make that happen, Home Again Furniture Bank can assist.

Home Again Furniture Bank is a nonprofit organization that provides gently-used furniture and household items to individuals and families in need. Based in St. John's, Home Again works through a referral system of local agencies to ensure that everyone has a bed to sleep in.

Central to Home Again is a cycle of giving and receiving that provides our most vulnerable citizens the means to create a home. In providing furniture, Home Again also helps to empower individuals and families as they rebuild their lives.  Getting a good night sleep on a proper bed makes moving forward seem feasible. Having a sofa to relax on with family makes life more enjoyable.  Being able to offer family and friends a chair to sit on, or a table to gather around, brings dignity and pride.  

Home Again helps to build pride in homes and pride in our community.  Home Again is an eco-friendly charity.  Not only does our program help families, but we also provide a positive ecological impact as we divert furniture and home furnishings destined for local landfills.

Fulfilling our promise

The challenges facing young people in Canada have grown more complex, and youth need access to the supports that are most relevant to them. To achieve our vision, it’s critical that we meet these challenges — and quickly.

The Learning Disabilities Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (LDANL) acts as a provincial network for individuals with learning disabilities and those who support them.  LDANL offers programs to build literacy and mathematical skills, provides advocacy and offers individual and family support.  Through public awareness activities, workshops, media, and by working with our partners in the community, LDANL strives to share an increased level of understanding of Learning Disabilities. It is the vision of LDANL to enable all individuals with learning disabilities to reach their full potential. LDANL’s mission is to raise awareness about, advocate for and support individuals with learning disabilities and their families.

We're an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that mails friendly, conversational, handwritten letters and cards to elders in care facilities and senior programs across Canada, the US, the UK and Australia. Since April 2020, tens of thousands of volunteers have sent nearly one million pieces of correspondence in 30 languages!

MS Canada provides services to people with multiple sclerosis and their families and funds research to find the cause and cure for this disease. We have a membership of over 7,000 and are the only national voluntary organization in Canada that supports both MS research and services. Since our founding in 1948, the core support of MS Canada has been from tens of thousands of dedicated individuals, companies and foundations in communities across Canada. The Society receives almost no funding from government.

MS Canada is governed by a board of directors comprised of 14 volunteer members who are elected annually.

Some 1,500 volunteers serve on MS Canada national, division and chapter boards and committees. An estimated 13,500 women and men are volunteers for service programs, fundraising events, public awareness campaigns and social action activities.

Our Vision- A World free of Multiple Sclerosis

Our Mission- To connect and empower the MS Community to create positive change

Since 1977, Monte Carlo has evolved into a major annual charity fundraiser that involves the community at large and raises funds for several deserving local charities. Different charities are selected each year, and the funds are raised through donations, casino-style games, live and silent auctions, and much more. It has also become a formal gala event with spectacular music and entertainment throughout the night.

True to the spirit of its conception, Monte Carlo is the result of the passion, care, and dedication of Memorial University of Newfoundland's Faculty of Medicine. It is organized each year by the Undergraduate Medical Students of the Faculty of Medicine and is an opportunity for all involved to contribute and further make a difference in the province.

MUN Minds is a collection of students at Memorial University who are committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness both on campus and in the community at large. We endeavour to promote resources and projects on campus that are related to mental health. As a student society, we plan to support community groups that are involved in the field of mental health. Through awareness campaigns, fundraising events and advocacy, we plan to enrich Memorial University with a clear and progressive understanding of mental health.

we're here to make cultural exchange a piece of cake! We envision a community where different cultures intertwine effortlessly, where stories are shared, laughter is universal, and understanding blooms. Our goal is to be the friendly bridge that links the diverse tapestry of cultures across our province. Just like the threads of a tapestry come together to create a stunning masterpiece, we want to weave together the vibrant cultures that call Newfoundland and Labrador home. Our name says it all – Maitree is here to extend a warm welcome to those who have journeyed from all corners of the globe to be part of our wonderful community.

Our mission is as colourful as the world we live in:

a) We're dedicated to promoting cooperation and friendship among people with multicultural heritage, as well as building strong ties with different cultural organizations across Newfoundland.

b) One of our core goals is to promote cultural understanding, diversity, and inclusion. How do we do that? By organizing and hosting incredible cultural events that highlight and honor the rich heritage of various communities. We're all about sharing the beauty of our differences and finding unity in our shared experiences. We're also deeply committed to creating an environment that values anti-racism and embraces each individual's unique story.

c) We firmly believe in the power of positive change. Through our cultural events, we're determined to spread the message of cultural sharing, combat racism, encourage diversity and unity, empower our youth, and preserve our rich heritage. We're not just an organization; we're a movement for change and understanding.

And the best part? We're in this together. We're here to grow with our community and for our community. Our doors are open wide for anyone aged 16 and above who's interested in joining our journey. It doesn't matter if you're young or young at heart, from near or far, regardless of your gender, nationality, ethnicity, belief, or location.

Who We Are

March of Dimes Canada is a leading national charity committed to championing equity, empowering ability, and creating real change that will help the more than six million people living with disabilities across the country unlock the richness of their lives.

We serve, connect, and empower people living with disabilities to participate fully in life — on their own terms. Our work is grounded in the voices of the people we serve, built on a foundation of service, and backed by a 70-year history of success.

We’ve proven time and again our dedication to addressing the ongoing and urgent needs of people living with disabilities, as well as their families and caregivers. Born in the last great public health epidemic, we know that seemingly-impossible goals can be achieved and barriers can be broken. In the 1950s, March of Dimes Canada helped in the global effort to find a cure for polio. We’ve since evolved to become a recognized leader in disability service design and delivery, supporting people at home, work, and in their communities with unparalleled reach and impact.

Now, inspired and guided by our community, we’re expanding our horizons even further. Together with our clients, partners, supporters, and allies, we are working to create communities in which people living with disabilities can not only live, but thrive in all they aspire to do.

Marguerite's Place, Inc. is a nonprofit transitional housing and supportive services program for homeless women in crisis and their children.

Mary's Meals is a registered charity, multi-cultural, global movement with over 100,000 volunteers worldwide.

Mary's Meals sets up school feeding programs in some of the world's poorest communities where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education.

Currently, we are feeding over 2 million children daily in over 18, of the world's poorest countries. It costs just $22 to feed a child for a whole school year.

Committed to keeping our running costs low, from every $1 earned, we spend at least 93 cents on charitable activities.

With 61 million children still out of school and many more chronically hungry, our work continues.
