Today is Earth Day, a chance to reflect on how we care for the Earth. It’s also an opportunity to discover new ways to connect with wildlife and nature around our own homes. Our #KidsAtHome featured resources are all about celebrating our beautiful world! Care for the Earth by upcycling recycled materials into gorgeous craft projects. Learn how to turn any neighbourhood walk into a nature walk with tips and tricks. Or, become an Earth Ranger and learn how you can care for the Earth and all its creatures, this week and every week!

Thanks for passing the sign Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and Area ! Our volunteers make a difference in many ways as they share their time and talent, assisting the KUF team in continuing to make a positive impact in the lives of deserving kiddos and their families through fundraising, packaging of toys/donated goods, Kids At Home packages, pick ups and deliveries, reading with kiddos virtually (e wee read sr.), and helping with live virtual opportunities on our social media channels! This is only a portion of what our #KUFKrew does, so it's easy to imagine the amazing difference that they make every day! #WeAreBiggerTogether #NationalVolunteerWeek #KUFKrew

When surveying our agency partners, in-person opportunities remain a top request. Placing physical health above all, mental health is also a priority during these difficult times. Venues like TELUS Spark, the Calgary Zoo, Heritage Park, and Noel Christmas offer opportunities with safety measures in place to reduce the spread of COVID19 while allowing families to enjoy their time together. A reminder that your support and donations have benefits that extend well beyond the event itself Read more about the impacts Kids Up Front provides here - https://bit.ly/34xfxAj
