The Heart of Telecare’s Mission 

At Telecare Crisis & Caring Line, our mission to provide compassionate listening and support during personal crises is made possible by our dedicated volunteers and generous donors. Over the years, we have received thousands of calls from people seeking someone to listen. This vital service wouldn’t exist without those who give their time and resources to support our work. Volunteers offer their hearts, and donors provide the funds to ensure that our service remains available to anyone who needs it.

Why Recognition is Essential 

Celebrating donors and volunteers is more than a courtesy—it’s a necessity. Our volunteers are the backbone of Telecare, offering empathetic, nonjudgmental listening to anyone in need, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our donors ensure that our toll-free service is accessible province-wide. By recognizing their contributions, we are acknowledging the essential role they play in keeping our mission alive and helping people in moments of distress.

The Power of Appreciation Events 

Appreciation events, like our upcoming Donor and Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on November 6, 2024, are key to fostering connection and gratitude. These events are more than just a meal—they’re a way to bring our community together, reflect on the impact of our collective work, and express heartfelt thanks. Guest speakers, like Dr. Dave Currie, emphasize the importance of compassionate listening, reinforcing the value of every contribution.

Strengthening Bonds and Inspiring Others 

Celebrating our supporters strengthens their bond with Telecare’s mission, helping them feel more connected to the cause they care about. It also inspires others to get involved, encouraging ongoing support. Without our donors and volunteers, none of what we do would be possible. Their celebration isn’t just important—it’s essential to our mission’s continued success.
