Description
Help a family take a much-needed break. Respite care is a crucial part of the overall support many people need when caring for a family member at home. We will strive to make the best possible match for you. We want you to have a meaningful and personally satisfying volunteer experience.
Host Families
Welcome a child, teen, adult or senior with special needs into your home regularly or occasionally. Visits are completely flexible and fit into your schedule. This may take place for a few hours or overnight stays.
Community Friends
Share your favourite activities with a participant who has similar interests. Enjoy social or recreational activities for a few hours every week or two. It’s a great opportunity to make friends and explore our community.
“I initially signed up as a volunteer to help out but quickly gained a new friend. We both have a ton of fun playing sports, hitting the gym, watching movies, trying new things and being a part of the community.”
