When did you start/join it?
3 months ago
What made you want to get involved?
I worked for Thrifts Shops for NOVA which is a major donor to NOVA West Island and I totally was in awe of the work done by the organization and its volunteers. I also wanted to be part of making a difference in my community.
What was the situation like when you started?
The demand is very high but at the same time, there is much possibility to publicize what they do, reach more people and attract ambassadors, increase funding as the community is what funds this organization.
How has it changed since?
We are growing our donors, looking at new venues to inform people of what we do
What more needs to be done?
The ongoing goal is for more people to know about us, to support us with their donations, volunteer for us, work with us and spread the word about our organization
