Spearheaded by Jennifer Johnson, whose community activism began over 15 years ago, and supported by The Creative Concierge, Here to Help is a non-profit and volunteer-led program connecting community members in a position to give with local charities and social service agencies to assist families and individuals in the Durham Region.
