Olive Us Care - Burlington & Greater Hamilton Area



Olive We Care, free in-home childcare for families facing cancer
Olive We Care Website
Olive Us Care is a non-profit volunteer service focused on providing FREE in-home childcare for children under 12 years of age.  Olive Us Care will provide 10 volunteer childcare hours per month to families dealing with cancer; parent or child. 

This time can be used to run errands,  attend appointments or simply spend time with friends and family.  Knowing that the children/siblings are being well looked after will provide peace of mind. Olive Us Care’s key strategy is to be actively engaged in Burlington and the Greater Hamilton Area community and to provide support to families who have an immediate family member living with a cancer diagnosis.
