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.
Many First Nation communities, hamlets, and towns across northern Canada face significant barriers in accessing essential goods and services.
Often situated in remote areas that are only accessible by plane or barge, or are a long drive from major city centres, communities are forced to pay exorbitant prices for food and other essential goods such as backpacks, beds, and warm clothing. At True North Aid, we believe that where you live should not determine the quality of life you are afforded. Through our Community Supplies Program, we cover the cost of shipping quality goods to northern and remote communities so that families are not forced to choose between spending their money on groceries marked at high prices and warm boots and clothing for their children.
