Hospice calls on volunteers to donate their time
Through the vital contribution of volunteers Hospice East Rand Charity shops continue to sell good quality pre-loved items
A volunteer is defined as someone who offers to do something freely.
Hospice East Rand is blessed with such special men and women who give of their time freely in its charity shops.
“Our volunteers support our shop managers in all aspects,” said Jonquil Siepman, spokesperson for the organisation.
“They sort through donated items ensuring that everything is in working order, clean and ready for resale. Where necessary they help wash, iron, mend and repair items to ensure that stock on the floor is good quality for the next person to enjoy.”
When not sorting through donations volunteers can be seen attending to customers, ringing up purchases and in some cases fetching donations from donors.
“Many do not realise that volunteers assist our organisation out of the goodness of their hearts with no financial gain,” said Siepman.
“We could not function without these selfless people, they are real gems and we are immensely grateful to them for giving so freely of their time.”
Hospice East Rand is urgently looking for volunteers to assist in its charity shops.
