“As a representative working full-time
for Focus on the Family Canada, our volunteers have helped me in so
many ways. They go places I can’t go, they provide assistance to make
events happen and they’re at the heart of Focus on the Family Canada on
the street. Many of our volunteers have been working for Focus longer
than staff members. I can’t imagine ministry without them!”
