What do you think would
happen if volunteers no
longer cared?
Volunteers are the backbone in supporting
strong, healthy communities!
What do you think would happen if volunteers no longer cared?
Who would read books to children?
Who would visit lonely or isolated seniors?
Who would teach English to new Canadian families?
Who would plant trees and flowers in our local parks and community gardens?
Who would offer assistance to families dealing with mental or physical challenges?
Without volunteers...essential community services
would cease to exist in Peel Region.
Right here in our own community of Peel Region, Volunteer MBC helps to build the capacity
of community service organizations by sourcing and matching qualified volunteers to deliver
their much needed services.
Since 2008, we have been serving the Cities of Mississauga and Brampton, and the Town of
Caledon by connecting individuals of all ages to meaningful volunteer opportunities that:
•
•
•
•
support people’s personal and professional growth;
provide individuals and employee groups with opportunities to give back to the
community;
help youth fulfill their 40 hours of community service with volunteer experiences;
build capacity for non-profit and community organizations to continue serving the public.
Did you know that in 2014, Volunteer MBC referred over 30,000 volunteers to more than
185 community service organizations across Peel Region?
The result: over 3.25 million volunteer hours of energy and expertise were channeled into
serving people across our community. And when you translate these volunteer hours into
dollars saved by community organizations, the impact our service has on supporting our
community is immense!
But as demand for our service has grown, sadly our resources have not.
As a registered non-profit charity, we depend on funding from government, foundations and
on generous donations from individuals like you. Please offer your support to help us
continue our community work.
Take a moment and just imagine what it would be like if we were not able to continue our
work to support the community with volunteers. Regardless of your circumstances, we have
all been touched by the caring hands of volunteers. Your contribution will make a direct
impact on the lives of individuals who are looking to give back to society and to community
service organizations who need volunteers to continue their great work.
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
(Aesop)
This is YOUR community. Together, with your financial support, we can continue to make a
difference in the lives of those who need us. Show Us YOU Care.
