We started in 2018 as WonderGivers - a small group of people who believed that showing up for your community should be simple. What began as a handful of neighbours organizing to help each other quickly grew into something bigger: recurring meal drives, seasonal cleanups, and hands-on support for families who needed it most.
As the effort grew across the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area, we became MiVolunteer, operating as the Mississauga Volunteers' Association. The name changed, but the model sharpened: we are a volunteer agency. We find and vet real opportunities, match willing people to them, issue a Certificate of Hours for the time they give, and help organizations run great events.
MiVolunteer started in the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area and now serves communities across all of Ontario - with branches in the GTHA and Ottawa, and volunteers and partners from Niagara, Waterloo Region, London and Windsor to Kingston, Barrie, Sudbury and Thunder Bay. MiVolunteer connects people who want to help with the opportunities where that help matters - in the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area, Ottawa, and every community in between, across all of Ontario.
MiVolunteer is the operating name of the Mississauga Volunteers' Association, incorporated in Ontario as Mississauga and GTA Relief Initiative Inc.
Students earning their hours, neighbours at community events, and volunteers out across the GTHA.
Everything MiVolunteer does is built on three ideas.
MiVolunteer began in Mississauga, and our operating name, the Mississauga Volunteers' Association, carries the name of this place. We acknowledge that the land we started on, and still do much of our work on, is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We also acknowledge the Haudenosaunee, the Huron-Wendat and the Anishinaabe peoples, whose histories on these lands go back thousands of years.
