The stores are getting busy, and the streets are full of merriment. It is the season
of joy and wonder. What a time it is! Instead of feeling overwhelmed this holiday
season why not take time to help others? The South Okanagan Similkameen
Community Connections Volunteer Centre has many suggestions for you.
How about helping to wrap presents for someone whose joints are a little stiff and
find the task difficult? What about housesitting a pet for a day so a friend or neighbour
can go shopping without worrying about their beloved furry one? Why not dedicate a
shift ringing the bells for the Salvation Army? What about packing some food hamper
boxes for the food bank? Why don’t you lend your voice to a local church choir for this
holiday season? These are just a few of the many opportunities to help make this
holiday season a little brighter for you and someone else.
Volunteering is a great stress reliever! Reading a beloved Christmas story to
someone in a Care Facility can give you as much of an uplift as the recipient.
Delivering Meals on Wheels puts you in contact with some truly amazingly wonderful
people and helps make your day. Walking a pet at the SPCA can do more for you than
that adorable, boisterous fur ball. And what a way to make your holiday season a little
merrier!
The South Okanagan Similkameen Volunteer Centre is committed to working
alongside you to ensure the optimum volunteer experience. If you are interested in
either a short term or longer term volunteer opportunity, please check out the Volunteer
