Recruiting Organization: My Neighbour's Keeper
My Neighbour’s Keeper is a faith-based nonprofit, our work rooted in the belief that no one should walk through life’s challenges alone. We offer holistic emotional, mental, and practical support to seniors and other individuals navigating isolation or loneliness, caregiving stress, illness, grief, disability, trauma, poverty, or reintegration into society.
