Hospice East Rand has called on community members looking to make a difference to volunteer at its charity shops.
“Volunteering is on your own terms, whether that be for an hour a week, one morning a week or a full day,” said Jonquil Siepman, marketing and media liaison for Hospice East Rand.
“The choice is yours but the time you share with us is invaluable to us.”
Besides helping the NPO, volunteering provides community members with the opportunity to meet new friends, have fun, counteract loneliness, feel useful within the community, especially for those people who have recently retired or where their job has been made redundant.
