The Volunteer Well

The Volunteer Well is a Canadian non-profit charity that connects volunteers who offer their skills and time (i.e. 'givers') and individuals who need support (i.e. 'receivers') directly aiming to create a more inclusive compassionate society through a direct-source volunteering model.
