ACORN Canada integrates Canada Learning Bond outreach into daily activities
ACORN Canada is a grassroots organization that spends a big chunk of our resources going door-to-door talking to families about their biggest issues. We have recently integrated Canada Learning Bond outreach into our day-to-day activities. Each office talks to between 30-130 low-income families every day. We have flyers and are making sure they are handed out at chapter meetings. We have people in the office ready to help when people drop by and call.
Putting a concerted effort into making sure our organizers know that low-income families are missing benefits that they are eligible for, like the Learning Bond helps make sure the communities we talk to everyday get access.
