Join the Board of Directors at Compassion Society of Halton
For 26 years, Compassion Society of Halton (CSH) has served as a community hub for Halton’s most vulnerable residents. From our location in Burlington (Fairview/Brant), we provide food, clothing and practical support, including referrals to medical, legal and other services. Demand for all of these services has grown over the past 12 months.
We are looking for community-minded Halton Region residents to join our Board of Directors and help guide CSH through this period of growth. We are especially interested in candidates with expertise in:

- Act as an advocate and ambassador for CSH in the community
- Help identify and secure funding, partnerships and resources that advance our mission
- Use your networks and connections to strengthen CSH’s fundraising, reputation and influence on public policy
Time commitment:
This is an unpaid volunteer position. Expect about 5–7 hours a month, including meeting preparation, the Board meeting itself and committee work.
