Nonprofit Organizations in Halifax

Love Caravan is a nonprofit organization from Vancouver dedicated to bridging the generational gap between youth and seniors. This August, we’re embarking on a nationwide tour to senior communities and homes all over Canada. Our groups consists 10-15 students and the event will have an hour of performance followed by an hour of interactive activities. We’d love to know if you have any volunteers that may be interested in performing or partaking in general volunteer activities at a senior home in Halifax anytime on August 31st, or the morning of September 1st. We're specifically looking for musicians and dancers among other general volunteers.

Lucasville Community Association is looking for volunteers to help paint a community recreation center inside. This should be a 1 day only if we have many hands. The start date of this project is December 12/2015 at 8:30 am.

Thanks in Advance

Our Vision- A World free of Multiple Sclerosis

Our Mission- To connect and empower the MS Community to create positive change

MS Canada is a National organization with reach all over Canada. We're inspired by the vision of a world free of multiple sclerosis. We work with researchers, donors, partners, volunteers, and people living with MS to bring about positive change. Whether improving the lives of Canadians today or supporting high-quality research that aims to end MS tomorrow, we work together as a community.

We connect the MS community to programs, information, research and to each other while they are on their MS journey.
