Do you have an inner fashionista that is begging to be shared? Maybe a love of books? What about greeting people through assisting with front desk reception?
Volunteers remain the heart and soul of East Wellington Community Services and the organization is looking for individuals willing to share their talents while meeting new people and helping the community.
Every program offered by EWCS relies on volunteers.
Current volunteer opportunities exist within New to You clothing stores, Bookends used book store, front office reception, special fundraising and events, or in seniors and children’s programs.

Day trips
Adult day trips continue to provide a fun day out for a reasonable price as EWCS organizers plan exciting adventures each month. These trips are one of the best deals in town and include all transportation (pick up and drop off locations in Erin, Hillsburgh and Rockwood), lunch and any related admissions for one very reasonable price. Circle Sept. 27 on your calendar for the next day trip to Lake Scugog, Port Perry. For more details, contact Rick Eller at 519-833-9696.
