We receive no government funding!

We are a not-for-profit Christian organization financially supported by concerned individuals, businesses and churches who want to help us keep the doors open. Through supporters, donors and fundraisers, we are able to keep on helping in Durham Region.

Please prayerfully consider supporting this work financially on a regular basis. For more information on financial support options please contact us, take a look at our annual fundraiser events, or click on the Donate Now! icon to provide immediate financial assistance.

 

 

 

There are minimally two types of volunteer opportunities available at the Centre:

  1. On-site—volunteering for a shift on a Mon., Tues,, Wed.,
    Thurs., or Fri. in your community
  2. Mentoring program—a one-year commitment of your
    time and prayers which is a more flexible alternative

Both types of volunteering require training prior to involvement.

 

 

Our volunteers are trained to work with our clients and families. The volunteers provide support for our families and clients, distribute supplies free of charge to our clients, organize the donations as they come in, assemble the gift layettes for the newborns of our clients.

There is staff supervision available on-site.

Our mentoring program is available to those (men and women) who are looking for support and guidance as they move into their new roles as parents.

It is a committed relationship that lasts for about a year.

It involves building a friendship focused on help and learning through life. We try to make our matches taking into account similar experiences and interests. All of our mentors are police-checked, trained and supervised as the relationships develop.
