"With Troop, I feel immediately connected to my neighbours and my neighbourhood in a way that is personally rewarding. It's human! It's so refreshing and different. I find great joy in reading the weekly need notifications and helping when I can. I also never feel pressured to fulfill a need, which is a different kind of feeling when it comes to giving."
"Troop is gratifying. I feel a real connection with the person on the other end of the need. Because the needs are local, I feel like I can relate more. When I contribute, it's a meaningful experience."
"I can walk down any city street in toronto and drop some coins in a hat or buy a coffee for someone in need. Troop achieves that type of feeling but in a more specific and thoughtful way. It's more mindful.”
"I've been on the other end of a need in life. This is such a great way to show a neighbour they're not alone during the hard times. I love that it's local. I love that I get to see the impact of my involvement at the end of the week!"
"When you know you made an impact on a real person in your neighbourhood, that's an amazing feeling. That creates an important connection. Troop makes special things happen for real people every week and I'm really happy to be a part of that."

What our partners think
The Romero House community is so encouraged to see the work that Troop is doing in our community and to have received support from our neighbours. We have always believed that "it takes a neighbourhood to welcome a refugee" and Troop is the perfect example of that.
Thank you Troopers!
Sistering is so grateful for the support of Troop in helping connect our specific needs as a non-profit organization to local community members who are committed to making a meaningful difference. We especially appreciate the real-time response that Troop provides through direct video and photo allowing Troopers to see the immediate use and positive impact of their generosity.
We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for us. You have no idea what it means to get support from our community during these times. It helps our youth to know they are not alone. Thanks again for everything.
