The Volunteer Services Bureau strives to match the interests of our community volunteers with the needs of non-profit groups within our community. As such, we house a database of community volunteers that groups can request when looking for volunteers. Only those volunteers who have indicated a similar interest to those which the group is seeking will be forwarded to that group.
