One Pallet, One Community | Community Application

One Pallet, One Community

One Pallet, One Community is a grassroots program initiated by True North Aid that encourages Canadians to meet the specific needs of a remote and northern Indigenous community.

This is accomplished by a group of volunteers (collectors) in a southern region hosting a short-term collection drive that fills a minimum of one pallet.

Your community is invited to apply. Please note, that True North Aid cannot guarantee that your request will be met immediately. Your application will be activated once you have been matched with a group of volunteer collectors.

If you're interested in receiving supplies for your community, please fill out the questions below in full.

Please note that you will also need to submit a letter of support as part of your application. This letter of support can be from a leadership, school, or other community program.
