HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre  is the sole Cancer Support Centre in Waterloo Region. It was founded in 1995 by a local group led by a Manulife business executive with a rare cancer.

HopeSpring is an agency close to Loraine’s heart.

KidSport KW addresses the significant financial barriers faced by low income families in our community and their desire to have their children participate in healthy, life-changing activities like sport and dance.

Bradley’s advice for those interested in volunteering is that even if you don’t know what to expect, you shouldn’t let that hold you back! Give it a shot and explore your options. The commitment varies from program-to-program, so you’re sure to find something that fits into your schedule.

Helping our community to live sustainably is the purpose of the Reep House for Sustainable Living.

In the spring of 1995, Pam was diagnosed with congestive heart failure.  After ten relatively stable years, Pam had five years of slow but steady decline.  Her heart failure slowly progressed and her ability to do daily tasks decreased.  Eventually, Pam lost the ability to walk even a single flight of stairs and one of the greatest losses for her was no longer being able to walk her two dogs.

For the month of June 2017, donations made using CanadaHelps (of $3 or more) give the receiving charities entries for a draw to receive a grand prize of $10, 000.

GivingTuesday Waterloo Region is now recruiting volunteers!
