Honor their memory with a charitable gift.

We are currently working in 46 sponsor sites in 15 developing countries, and our sponsorship program is benefiting over 42,000 children and elderly who are trapped in the cycle of poverty. As a Catholic charity, we believe that Christ's loving care for the poor and suffering is an essential element of His teaching to His followers. We place a special emphasis on helping to provide children with the chance to go to school and learn, believing that education is a key to breaking the cycle of poverty and providing better opportunities for a brighter future. We work closely with lay people, religious missionaries and local communities in their efforts to provide care for the many children and aged caught in the dehumanizing grip of extreme poverty and lack of education. Those accepted into the sponsorship programme are received based on need with no regard for gender, race or religious affiliation.

Roots to Harvest is a not for profit and charitable organization based in Thunder Bay, Ontario. We are about food, about young people, about community, and about doing things in good ways. The first time a person learns where food comes from; the life changing experience of serving those in need; the heat of a greenhouse; the dirt under your fingernails; the feel of a handful of red wiggler compost worms; the first seedlings… This is Roots to Harvest. It's about learning, growing, inquiry & getting dirty. Young people connect with mentors & experts in the community to explore the food system from many different sides – production, distribution, access, culture, and sustainability.

Bear mortality related to human conflicts is perhaps the largest single factor affecting long-term population viability. As human populations continue to extend into bear habitat throughout North America, either through residential development, recreational use or industrial use, bear human conflicts increase.
