Here's how it works:
1. Choose your charity (such as Habitat for Humanity Toronto.)
2. Bid on art using volunteer hours rather than money.
3. Get started on your rewarding volunteer experience!

| A full household now has a home |
 With five sons ranging from toddlers to teenagers, Thulisile Mathabela runs a full household. Her boys make a point of keeping their small apartment tidy and welcoming. "Although there are too many of us living under one roof, we work together to keep a clean and friendly atmosphere," Thulisile says.
The family regularly leaves their substandard apartment to play soccer and basketball. She admits that before Habitat Toronto, life often felt hopeless. Living in a cramped apartment in need of repair and working long hours to support her family, Thulisile couldn't fathom how she could make life better for her sons.
