Meet Manna: a q***r community body worker and exemplar of community care.

By offering low-cost, sliding scale, and even free services and support to q***r, trans, and BIPOC communities in need, Manna facilitates community spaces for healing.

In the face of systemic gaps, we're inspired by community members like Manna, who remind us that we have the power to step up too.

We can do this through volunteering, connecting to our community, and sharing our voice.

As a first step, share your voice by completing our National Volunteer Action Strategy survey.

Rencontrez Manna : une praticienne communautaire q***r et un exemple en matière de soins communautaires.

En offrant des services et du soutien à bas coût, à tarif variable et parfois même gratuits aux communautés q***r, trans et PANDC dans le besoin, Manna crée des espaces de guérison au sein de la communauté.

Face aux lacunes systémiques, nous sommes inspirés par des membres de la communauté comme Manna, qui nous rappellent que nous avons aussi le pouvoir d’agir.

Nous pouvons le faire en faisant du bénévolat, en nous connectant à notre communauté et en partageant notre voix.

Pour commencer, faites entendre la vôtre en remplissant notre sondage de la Stratégie d’action nationale sur le bénévolat.
