Discover What A Dollar A Day Can Do
Never underestimate the power of one – one person, one dollar. What started with co-founder Alan Doyle giving one dollar each day to a man on the street has transformed into a community of over 6,200 donors banding together to help those in need from coast to coast to coast.
Our mission is simple: to narrow the gap between the need for and the availability of frontline mental health and addictions programs across Canada. By helping our partners provide proven and timely support, despair can be replaced by hope, dignity, and the opportunity to give back. With your help, lives can be changed. Lives can be saved.
