Calling all volunteers!
Hi there everyone!
My name is Jay, and I wanted to pop on here and share my volunteering journey with Red Cross so far.
In August of this year I joined the team at Red Cross Morrinsville. With the assistance of Eileen and her lovely team of volunteers I was made to feel at home right away. The transition from being a full time single mum to entering the workforce again was an easy one.
I feel as though working with the team in Morrinsville has given me a purpose, and it feels great to know I am helping out a deserving cause.
I urge anyone in the community who is thinking about volunteering, to do it!
Morrinsville Red Cross is currently looking for volunteers, so feel free to contact the shop or visit us during our open hours and have a chat.
Thank you for reading.
