We need to increase the collective data literacy and capacity of people that are already data collectors but don’t know it. Harar Hall, Volunteer Canada
We use data, yes, certainly to advocate. And we also use it to inform. Anne Millar, Ottawa Food Bank
@sherlynassam.bsky.social spoke to Anne Millar, @ottawafoodbank.bsky.social's officer of data and research, and Harar Hall, @volunteercanada.bsky.social ’s policy and research manager, about how data can be harnessed for solutions across the sector.

Words on a blue background say "You can't build a strong Canada without the people who hold it together" : Volunteer Canada responds to Federal Budget 2025
The federal government’s #Budget2025 speaks of “Building a Strong Canada.” But how can we build strength while leaving behind the people and organizations that hold our country together? lnkd.in/gY72Zhw4
Volunteering is declining in Canada and frontline services are feeling the strain. In #Budget2025, we’ve asked the federal government to invest in Canada’s volunteer infrastructure to help strengthen these vital community services. See more here: volunteer.ca/government-r...

National Volunteer Week continues! Fikre volunteers daily and brings a calm presence to everything he does.
He is also part of our Beyond Food program where he's building skills to help better support his family. Thank YOU! #yeg #edmonton #VolunteersMakeWaves #NVW2025
The average volunteer in Toronto gives 27 hrs/yr. That’s just 2-3 hrs/mnth – equal to:
🍁 10 Toronto Maple Leafs games
📽️ Watching one movie/month
🚶 The time it would take to walk Toronto’s perimeter
Totally doable, right? Find your next role at bit.ly/VTsearch
