    Description

    My Neighbour’s Keeper is a faith-based nonprofit, our work rooted in the belief that no one should walk through life’s challenges alone. We offer holistic emotional, mental, and practical support to seniors and other individuals navigating isolation or loneliness, caregiving stress, illness, grief, disability, trauma, poverty, or reintegration into society.

    We’re in need of compassionate individuals who will function at the heart of our mission to restore dignity and promote community resilience.

    Are you someone who loves to connect with others and bring joy through conversation and presence? Join MNK as a Neighbour Companion and help brighten the lives of isolated individuals — especially seniors and those living with grief, disability, or illness. You’ll offer emotional support through casual conversation, shared activities (e.g., playing cards, light walks), and genuine friendship.

    You’ll Be Great For This If You:

    Enjoy listening and engaging with others

    Are compassionate, respectful, and dependable.

    Can maintain healthy boundaries.

    Can commit to at least one hour/week

    Police and vulnerable sector check is required.
