SOS in Your Neighbourhood

In 2025, SOS Children’s Villages Canada is continuing to connect with caring Canadians through face-to-face fundraising! You might spot our friendly fundraisers in bustling public areas, grocery stores or even in your neighbourhood.

 

We’re teaming up with SunSpark, one of Canada’s most trusted face-to-face fundraising organizations. They’ve been carefully vetted to ensure they meet the highest ethical and regulatory standards.

 

This campaign is all about growing our community of monthly donors and spreading the word about the life-changing work of SOS Children’s Villages around the world. If you see our team out and about, stop by and say hi – we’d love to share our mission with you!

 

Canvassers on the street 2022

 

How do I identify a SOS Children’s Villages Canada Canvasser?

 

Each of our canvassers will have the following identifiable collateral; 

 

  • An identification badge which states the canvassers name as well as their identification number. This badge should be attached to an SOS branded lanyard.

     

    • NOTE: If the fundraiser is in training, their badge may state “Trainee” in place of their name.

       

  • An SOS blue vest branded with the SOS Children’s Villages logo

     

  • An SOS canvasser will NEVER ask for or accept cash donations

     

  • An SOS canvasser will process information through a handheld device or iPad

     

  • You will receive a welcome call 24-48 hours following your signup to verify your information and intent to donate monthly

 

To collect your payment information in a safe manner, our partner uses verification calls, where an agent working in the confirmation centre will confirm your personal information.
