Volunteer

Join us in supporting the health care needs in the Cowichan Valley.   

There are many options for participating, including staffing the Gift Shop and Thrift Store (HATS) where more hands make light work. And if that doesn’t attract you, here’s a list of many of the other projects and services that our volunteers offer.
