Come and get your hands dirty clean
"Soap For Hope Canada provides a platform for many people with varying levels of different abilities to experience the enjoyment of being able to volunteer/contribute. The proximity in which people are working makes it possible to socialize with others. Sometimes volunteers are working together despite an age difference of 60+ years”
Chuck Richardson, Volunteer in Hygiene Process
What our volunteers are saying...
Kathleen & Maureen
Hygiene at home
"We like doing Soap for Hope Canada for the positive effect it has on a large number of people, allowing many to get access to hygiene products, that they may not manage to get otherwise. Doing it at home is great for making our own schedule and doing it as we please and taking breaks, this means that more is done."
Nancy
Orders Process
"I help fulfilling orders, I love the tangible results we get every week filling so many orders, and since each order is different, it is never boring. We love inventory management and organizing."
Kanako
Linens
"I love volunteer in Soap for Hope Canada because of the impact they make in the community. I love the diversity that you find here. It is my happy place."
Larry
Brand Ambassador
"After more than 5 continuous years as a 'field' volunteer with Soap for Hope Canada (operating out of the Alberni Valley), and with the realization that my personal values align closely with those of this 'community spirited service', its truly an honour to be a part of their successes and achievements helping to 'provide hope and dignity through hygiene'. I value the opportunity I have been given to help raise the quality of life for those less fortunate in my community, in our society; and who are in need. If everyone can give a little, a lot can be accomplished."
Gloria
Second Hand Hope &
Life Changer
"I've been volunteering here for a year and it is the highlight of my week. I love coming here, i love meeting with the costumers, seeing the variety of treasures that we get from the lost and found from the hotels and is why our store is a very high end.
I love to do something for the community, I decided to volunteer at Soap for Hope Canada because this organization is the best."
Carol
Data Entry
"Each week the Soap for Hope Canada team and I refine the work that I do, helping the organization track the hundreds of inputs and outputs that combine to produce the huge results achieved by the organization.
This produces such a sense of satisfaction! This opportunity keeps me engaged and motivated while the extra bonus of the upbeat environment and happy people makes volunteering a truly rewarding part of my week!"

“It was a great afternoon to volunteer! We process various hygiene products that arrive from hotels across B.C. and Alberta. Upstairs, there’s a beautiful thrift store filled with hidden treasures found in hotel rooms. Soap for Hope Canada is an incredible organization! If you have some time, come in and get your hands clean—not dirty!”
