National Volunteer Week continues! Fikre volunteers daily and brings a calm presence to everything he does.
He is also part of our Beyond Food program where he's building skills to help better support his family. Thank YOU! #yeg #edmonton #VolunteersMakeWaves #NVW2025
The average volunteer in Toronto gives 27 hrs/yr. That’s just 2-3 hrs/mnth – equal to:
🍁 10 Toronto Maple Leafs games
📽️ Watching one movie/month
🚶 The time it would take to walk Toronto’s perimeter
Totally doable, right? Find your next role at bit.ly/VTsearch
