Volunteering is another way to give for life!

100-plus volunteers give generously of their time and talent to assist Code Brew, the Foundation and the Nanaimo Lifeline Program in a variety of capacities – from installing Lifeline units in client homes to selling Lotto for Life tickets to helping out in the office. The Foundation benefits immensely from the dedication of volunteers.

Thank you to our volunteers for your generous support through the gift of your time and talent – we couldn’t do it without you!

120 volunteers devoted 5,200 hours in 2011/12...a labour value of $65,000.
