JSPCA needs volunteers for Christmas present wrapping

This holiday season, be part of something special. Join the JSPCA for an opportunity to combine the joy of gift-giving with the spirit of community.

The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to get into the festive spirit than by lending a helping hand?

The Johannesburg Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (JSPCA) is calling out for volunteers to join in the joyful task of wrapping presents for a good cause. If you are someone who loves to give back to the community, has a knack for gift wrapping, and a warm, friendly disposition, this opportunity is perfect for you.

Why volunteer with the JSPCA?

• Support a worthy cause: By volunteering with the JSPCA, you contribute to the welfare of animals in need. The organisation has worked tirelessly to protect and care for animals for years, and your help will be a valuable addition to their efforts.

• Develop valuable skills: Gift wrapping is an art, and here is your chance to hone your skills. You will have the opportunity to refine your wrapping techniques, making your presents look like they are straight out of a holiday magazine.

• Meet like-minded individuals: Volunteering is a great way to meet new people who share a passion for giving back to the community. You will be part of a team dedicated to making a difference, and you might make some lifelong friends along the way.

• Fulfill community hour requirements: If you are a student or someone looking to complete community service hours, this is an opportunity to fulfil your requirements in a fun and meaningful way.

Criteria for volunteers:

• Availability: There are three shifts available, ensuring flexibility in your schedule.

• Punctuality: Timekeeping is crucial. If you commit to a shift, you must honour it. Consistent attendance is a must.

• Gift wrapping skills: You should have a basic understanding of how to wrap presents neatly. Don’t worry if you are not a professional – a little practice goes a long way.

• Friendly and bubbly personality: A warm and friendly demeanour is essential. You will be interacting with fellow volunteers, staff, and possibly visitors. A cheerful disposition will make the experience enjoyable for everyone.
