Community Connections Gift Wrap
Do you enjoy wrapping Christmas gifts? Do you like to help others, especially during the Holiday season? Then come out on Thursday, Dec. 10 to have fun and make a difference in your community! Community Connections is coordinating volunteers to gift wrap in support of Hospice Niagara at the Pen Centre. Hospice Niagara offers free, palliative care and bereavement support to Niagara residents, and fundraising initiatives like this one make this service possible. There will be three different shifts to volunteer at over the course of the day, and we are looking for a maximum of 4 volunteers at each shift:
Shift 1: 9:00am-1:00pm
Shift 2: 1:00pm-5:00pm
Shift 3: 5:00pm-9:00pm
