FAQs
KindShare is an app-based volunteer service to support persons with disabilities and seniors in Newfoundland and Labrador. It was developed by the Coalition of Persons with Disabilities NL(COD NL) to help support our communities and it aims to be easy to use, accessible, and free of charge for all users! In KindShare, users post a task they need support with, including; Snow-clearing, a Free Ride, Yard Work, or a Food/Clothing/Furniture/Appliance Donation, for example. (We create the list of activities to choose from based on feedback from participants!). If a volunteer sees an activity that matches their schedule and location, they can accept the task and complete the job. The goal is to make it easy for everyone!
There are two categories of users in KindShare: Volunteers and
Beneficiaries.
Volunteers
Anyone over the age of 16 can apply to become
a volunteer. Simply download the app and create a volunteer account to get
started!
Beneficiaries
Any person with a disability (over the age of
18), and any senior citizens facing barriers, can join the program. Simply download the app and
create an account, chosing 'Beneficiary' as your account type to get started!
Not for you! We cover any fees associated with signing up for the
program.
(For example, the criminal records check from Sterling Backcheck costs $28
and the Drivers Abstract, for the optional Free Ride program, costs $15 but we cover the cost of
both!)
