Volunteering (Canada) There are more and more needy everyday, but that's not all what volunteering is about. Volunteering is about having a social conscience; it's a moral obligation we all have to society. It's a way of contributing to our society's well being. And I'm probably like most of you. I don't do it. Well, I actually do a smiggin. (That's less than a little for those who don't know.) I don't think I can handle what my daughters do - which is volunteer to help the elderly, or the disabled. I don't think I can handle the emotional investment. So if you're like me, and you can't handle it either, never fear - this site is for you. There are many ways to contribute, check the site out.
