Recently the big news that shocked Canada, was the closing of Target stores nationwide. Unfortunately in the non-profit sector, news of closure isn’t uncommon. Whether it’s due to lack of funding or community support, each year we hear of numerous non-profits in Toronto shutting down.
Volunteers can change this.
Whether you want to be at the front of the action by fundraising, or prefer to work directly with an organization’s clients, your time goes a long way in helping Toronto’s non-profits continue their hard work. Every minute you give matters so don’t ever think we aren’t appreciative.
Check out our website for available volunteer opportunities.
If you can’t find the right role for you, why not get in contact and see if we can help? You can book an appointment, give us a call, email us or even stop in at our office!
Featured Volunteer - Norma Trivino
For the past 22 years Norma has served as a dedicated volunteer at work, in her community and with her church.
At work, she has volunteered for over 14 years on the Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign where she wore diverse hats, including Chair, Co-Chair, Committee Member, Special Events Coordinator and Ambassador Coordinator.
Through her church, she volunteers for the Homeless Outreach Program, which offers sandwiches to helps feed the displaced people of Toronto. Along with food, they bring their message of hope to those feeling lost and forgotten. Norma remembers when one individual was so inspired by their message he sought help, got a job, an apartment and began to take part in society again.
What are Norma's thoughts on volunteering?
"It is more blessed to give than to receive."
