I look so forward to going into the WLCC food bank to volunteer.  The overall attitude is one of appreciation and compassion.   It’s easy to work with Sharlene and all of the volunteers who care deeply for each other and the amazing patrons of the food bank.   Every person I have met shows me a special part of themselves making my life a little richer. I am so grateful to be able to be involved with such an awesome organization.…

I am so grateful to be able to be involved with such an awesome organization.

Thank you to all.

I have been a volunteer at WLCC for over five years. I was new to the area when I started and it was a way to meet people from the area and help out a good cause. I volunteer in the thrift store two half days a week and one Sat per month. I have met a lot of wonderful people  (customers and fellow volunteers) and I love what I do in the thrift store.

I enjoy volunteering at West Lincoln Community Care. It is very rewarding to know that simple things like donated coffee cups and tee shirts can be turned into a “loaf of bread” for a person in need in our community. We live in a very generous and very prosperous community. The amount of donations and the stream of shoppers, merge to provide for those who need a little assistance.  By volunteering a little of my time, I can help turn…

We live in a very generous and very prosperous community. The amount of donations and the stream of shoppers, merge to provide for those who need a little assistance.  By volunteering a little of my time, I can help turn those donations into food! How awesome is that?

I began volunteering in November 2018 and I am so glad I did. I do not ‘feel’ like a volunteer, instead, I feel like a contributor to helping those in need in my community. I feel like part of a ‘volunteer’ family where not only do we jointly help our community but we also help one another on the job. We are part of a special family, we have fun, we share laughter, we feel pride for what we are…

I began volunteering in November 2018 and I am so glad I did. I do not ‘feel’ like a volunteer, instead, I feel like a contributor to helping those in need in my community. I feel like part of a ‘volunteer’ family where not only do we jointly help our community but we also help one another on the job. We are part of a special family, we have fun, we share laughter, we feel pride for what we are doing. The managers treat us with the utmost respect. I look forward to the time I spend with this special organization and the wonderful people who make it work. It is most rewarding. I love it!

My reason for volunteering was initially because I recently retired after working full time until the age of 74, and knew I needed to do something which would keep me connected to the real world! I chose WLCC because I have been an admirer and supporter for many years, and because it gives me the opportunity to give back to my community. I feel I get much more back than I give by volunteering. All the great people who work…

My reason for volunteering was initially because I recently retired after working full time until the age of 74, and knew I needed to do something which would keep me connected to the real world! I chose WLCC because I have been an admirer and supporter for many years, and because it gives me the opportunity to give back to my community. I feel I get much more back than I give by volunteering. All the great people who work here are so enthusiastic about what they do, and I really look forward to my shifts. I gives me great pride when I hear out-of-town people praising the store and the friendly people, and knowing that the bottom line is that its all about funding the food bank, and helping my neighbours who may be in distress. Keep up the good work!
