The Christmas season is almost here, and we’re getting ready for one of our favourite events of the year: our Christmas Toy Program!
We’re looking for compassionate, friendly, and festive volunteers to help families choose toys for their children. Shifts are 2 hours each during the day, and every pair of helping hands makes a big difference.
This program brings so much joy to our community, and volunteers truly help make the holiday spirit come alive. If you can spare a couple of hours, we’d love to have you join us!
Please contact Joanne at volunteer@shob.org or 519-273-3433 ext. 204 to learn more about available shift times or to sign up.
