I have been volunteering for almost 4 years. (Sept.2018)<\/p>\n
After my husband passed away, I needed something to do while living alone. Restore seemed to fit the bill and it seems to be a good fit.<\/p>\n
I enjoy the whole experience. We have a great crew in Penticton, and I look forward to going to work every week. We have a great manager in Trina who always shows volunteers they are appreciated.<\/p>\n
It makes me happy!!<\/p>\n
Don’t sit home feeling lonely get out and volunteer. You will meet great people and know you have done something to help others less fortunate.<\/p>\n
4 years.<\/p>\n
I thought it would be a way to get involved in the community, volunteering for an organization that is doing great, beneficial work.<\/p>\n
I guess the people at the Store! Also, the rewarding feeling of contributing to making our store great!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a great addition to my exercise plan.<\/p>\n
