I am interested in learning about what volunteer work people do, how they got started in it, what it involves and what they like about it or not like about it?

I work as a volunteer in an emergency food relief centre. Its a rewarding job being able to help people in need. Sometimes they just need someone to listen to them and someone who understands their problems.
I have been doing this since the centre started 6 years ago.

I also volunteer for the local CFA. I am a member of the CFA's ladies auxiliary and I help cater to provide food for the firies when they are fighting fires.

I love my volunteer work.

I am on a disability pension with a lot of health problems. Volunteering also helps me to focus on something else besides my health
