It’s National Volunteer Week. At the Canadian Cancer Society we are incredibly lucky to have so many generous, compassionate and dedicated volunteers. Some 20,000 strong just here in BC and the Yukon!
A big THANK YOU to our volunteers for all you do.
So, as Daffodil Month continues and our volunteers go door to door asking for your donation, please give generously — and consider passing along a thank you to that Canadian Cancer Society volunteer standing on your front step — they do a really great job.
And, just in time for National Volunteer Week — a new study out of the US says that not only do volunteers strengthen communities, they also improve their own health. According to the study, volunteers enjoy more positive attitudes at work and experience less anxiety and stress. It seems the benefits of volunteering go both ways!
