Why Volunteer with Ontario March of Dimes?
Volunteers are and have always been a vital part of the daily life of Ontario March of Dimes. Almost 18,000 dedicated people across the province help us every year by being a friend to someone with a physical disability, serving on our board or a committee, or helping raise much-needed funds.

In return, we are committed to giving them worthwhile and challenging opportunities that match their individual
