One American. One Canadian family.

How Adopt Canada works

A simple path from willingness to help to practical essentials delivered directly to a family's door.

You register

Tell us you are interested in helping a Canadian family. There is no obligation to spend a particular amount.

We help make an introduction

We help introduce you to one participating Canadian household that has asked for assistance.

See what the family needs

The family creates an Amazon.ca wishlist with the items they need most.

You buy directly from Amazon.ca

Add the items you choose to your cart and purchase them through Amazon.ca. You decide what you are comfortable buying.

Amazon delivers to the family

The items you purchase are shipped directly to the Canadian household through Amazon.ca.

Help again when you want to

Families may update their wishlists as needs change. You can return whenever you are able; ongoing support is optional.

Direct by design

No cash passes between you and the family

You purchase tangible items from an Amazon.ca wishlist, and Amazon.ca delivers the order directly.

  • The family chooses what they need.
  • You choose what you are comfortable purchasing.
  • Amazon.ca manages payment and delivery.
  • There is no commitment to continue.

The flow at a glance

American supporter → personal introduction → Amazon.ca wishlist → your purchase → direct delivery
