As our name suggests, CNH is founded on the principle that neighbours are an important community resource. We believe that a single mother teaching a craft to the children in our daycare and the banker volunteering at our tutoring program have equally valuable gifts to share and receive. Volunteering is one of the most gratifying and mutually beneficial experiences that our neighbours participate in. We are proud to be an organization that exemplifies the ‘old school’ notion of being a compassionate and involved neighbour.
