Renfrew County VCARS (RC VCARS) is a non-profit and volunteer based organization which assists Police and other emergency services in providing emotional and practical assistance to people who have experienced a crime or a tragic circumstance in Renfrew County.

Our trained, dedicated volunteers and staff respond to the needs of people who have experienced a crime or tragic circumstance by offering emotional support, non-financial practical assistance and referrals to other community services for longer term or ongoing support.  VCARS Responder Volunteers act as a bridge between the traumatic incident and the person's natural or community support network.

We respond on-site immediately at the time of the crisis to Police identified referrals 24 hours a day, seven days a week to everyone in Renfrew County - we work in partnership with all Police and Fire Departments.

Our service is based on the concept of "Neighbours Helping Neighbours".  It is a free service and the support that we offer is based on the individuals' consent.
