Molly's Story

I live locally in Waterloo and, just over a year ago, I decided to start volunteering with Coin Street and began helping with the Saturday morning Feel Good sessions. At the time, I was working a remote job, spending all day on a computer and not seeing or talking to people in real life. I wanted the opportunity to chat with people and meet others in my community. 

Volunteering at Coin Street has been one of the best things I’ve ever done. Every Saturday I get to interact with so many incredible people from various backgrounds, all coming together to participate in the Feel-Good sessions. These sessions have not only allowed me to stay active and engaged but have also helped me build meaningful connections with my neighbours.  

I have formed lasting friendships and have truly felt the warmth and inclusivity of the Coin Street community. It's been a transformative experience, and it's solidified for me that Waterloo is my home. I am grateful for the chance to give back and to be a part of such a vibrant and dynamic neighbourhood!
