Since 2012, the Voluntary Resource Council has proudly hosted an annual awards ceremony celebrating outstanding volunteers from across the province.
Each year, non-profit organizations and associations throughout Prince Edward Island nominate individuals who have made a meaningful impact in their communities. These remarkable volunteers are honoured at the Voluntary Resource Council’s Breakfast Fundraiser each year.

As we celebrate National Volunteer Week, we invite you to be inspired by their stories. Volunteering is a powerful way to give back, build connections, and strengthen your community. Get involved and make a difference today!
