TELUS mobilizes 100,000 volunteers across 30+ countries for global Days of Giving

Today, TELUS launched its 21st annual TELUS Days of Giving, mobilizing more than 100,000 volunteers across 30+ countries in one of the world’s largest corporate volunteer movements. Throughout May, TELUS team members, retirees, and partners will come together around the world to give back in their local communities through hands-on initiatives that deliver meaningful, local impact at global scale. What started as a localized effort in the early 2000s has evolved into a worldwide movement that reinforces TELUS’ commitment to year-round community engagement. Last year, 90,000 volunteers gave back in 34 countries, marking the third consecutive year TELUS team members and retirees contributed 1.5 million volunteer hours globally. 

At a time when volunteer participation in Canada has declined from 41% in 2018 to 32% in 2023, and many charities are struggling to meet growing demand, initiatives like TELUS Days of Giving are more important than ever. 

During the month of May, participants will engage in a wide spectrum of volunteer opportunities, including: 

  • Supporting young families by packaging essential infant and child gear and clothing at BabyGoRound in Vancouver, BC
  • Helping feed hungry families by assembling food hampers and essential hygiene kits with GlobalMedic in Toronto, ON
  • Beautifying green spaces by gardening and planting flowers at the outdoor sanctuary at WellSpring in Calgary, AB
  • Supporting the homeless by sorting and preparing food items for distribution at Mission Bon Accueil in Montreal, QC
  • Improving shelter and living conditions for rescued animals at Every Dog Matters in Sofia, Bulgaria
