Volunteers play an important role at the Distress Centre. They contribute in many ways and share a common satisfaction in knowing that they are having a direct impact on people’s lives.

In my expereince, people everywhere are longing for new ways of working together, and for more harmonious relationships. We know we need to work together; because daily we are overwhelmed by problems that we can't solve alone. People want to help. We want to contribute. We want to be hopeful. -- Margaret J. wheatley
