The Royal Columbian hospital Auxiliary is in need of volunteers to support its efforts to raise money for the hospital.
Lindy Kirkwood, president of the Royal Columbian Hospital Auxiliary, said all three of the groups’ fundraising venues are looking for volunteers – the RCH lotto booth, the gift shop in the hospital and the New to You Thrift Shop.
Volunteers must be 18 years old and have proof of vaccination for Covid-19, two written references and a criminal record check. They’ll undergo a telephone interview and will have to commit to nine months of volunteering with some days off permitted).
Training will be provided. After nine months of volunteering, volunteers can request a letter of reference.
