Our Leadership

Operations Lead - Maria Chanyi

Hi, I am Maria, a senior student at Port Credit Secondary School. I was super excited to co-found this charity and be a part of something bigger than myself. I believe in helping other and having volunteered over 100 hours in community events, I have experience and can bring a lot to this project.

And I am Cade Chanyi

I am an Honours Mathematics student at the University of Waterloo and have lived and enjoyed school and winter sports in south Mississauga for many years. I founded welcomedrive with one goal: to make sure every child has what they need to feel confident and included - whether it's a warm winter coat, a backpack full of school supplies, or a pair of skates to join friends on the ice. In tough times, no one should be left behind. We're here to help Canadian families together.
