About the Challenge
This holiday season, the Learning Pods Foundation invites families across Canada to take part in the Holiday Give Back Challenge — a fun and meaningful way to get outside, give back, and create lasting memories.
From December 22 to January 2, families complete a series of age-appropriate kindness activities laid out on scavenger hunt cards. These acts are designed to be free, fun, and impactful — from shoveling a neighbor’s walkway, to writing thank-you notes for community helpers, to creating art for seniors.

What is Small Hands, Big Hearts?
The Viral Kindness Challenge invites families to take action by giving back to their communities and sharing their journey on social media.
Whether it’s donating to a local food bank, volunteering at a shelter, or creating handmade holiday cards for neighbours, every act of kindness matters.
By posting a video of your family’s act of kindness with the campaign hashtag, you’re not just inspiring others—you’re also entering for a chance to win an exciting Grand Prize as our way of saying thank you for being part of this movement.
This is the story of Tamara Clarke and her six incredible children, a family defined by strength, love, and perseverance. Through loss, illness, and heartbreak, Tamara has continued to rise with courage and faith, always putting her children first and believing in brighter days ahead.
With the help of the Learning Pods Foundation, the Clarke children will have access to vital educational support, learning resources, and opportunities to reach their full potential. Your donation helps make that possible by giving families like theirs the tools to grow, learn, and thrive.
This holiday season, join us in building brighter futures through education and community support. 💛
