Coastal B.C. in the Spotlight
B.C. – You can support frontline workers, help people with disabilities experience the thrill of horseback riding and share your housing expertise in an unconventional way. If you have as little as two hours to spare, you can volunteer for a cause that interests you, safely expand your social network and make a real difference. In the spotlight this week are some of the charitable organizations urgently in need of volunteers in coastal B.C.
QUEST Food Exchange relies on volunteers to help ‘rescue’ quality food from being wasted and diverting it to feed people in need. This organization has a small administrative team that relies on volunteers throughout the Lower Mainland.
