April 21 to 27 is National Volunteer Week, recognizing Canada’s 13.3 million volunteers and celebrating the efforts of the many volunteers who contribute to their communities making it a better place to live, work and play.
“At East Wellington Community Services, our volunteers are the heart and soul of our agency,” Erika Westcott, manager of community and volunteer services at EWCS, said in a press release.
“From assisting with food drives, staffing our New to You and Bookend stores, assisting in the children and seniors programs, volunteer drivers, fundraising and special events, information and front desk reception …
“There are so many ways that our volunteers contribute to make East Wellington Community Services a great agency in their combined total of more than 9,000 volunteer hours each year.”
EWCS, which serves the Town of Erin and the Township of Guelph-Eramosa, is currently seeking volunteers to provide reception and light administrative help.
Volunteer drivers are required to drive those in the community to medical appointments. Help is also needed in the New to You clothing stores and in Bookend and online bookstore, and for the seniors programs.
