My #CharityChallenge has begun!

I’m going to be volunteering at 12 different charities over the holiday season. My goal is to give back some of my time but also hopefully highlight some of the amazing work they’re doing in our community.

I kicked things off by #volunteering at the Good Samaritans Society – Mountain View Village care facility where I got to work with their Therapy Recreation Coordinator to help some of their elderly and disabled members get up, active and have a bit of fun.

Their smiles were both incredible and heart warming. If you’d like to volunteer and help out they have a couple of really awesome opportunities.

They are launching a new program called Music and Memories which will give members with Alzheimer’s or Dementia an opportunity to listen to their favourite music in hopes it will spark some happy memories. They are simply needing help getting music downloaded from iTunes and on to their members ipods.

They can also always use help with the therapy recreation program and the many activities they have on an ongoing basis.

If you’d like to help out please contact Annette @ alachaine@gss.org or 250-717-4005
