Volunteer & Not-for-Profit Services

Saturday, September 8, 2012
10am – 3pm
Parkinson Recreation Centre

This is an annual event where about 80 local non-profit organizations will set up their displays and will be looking forward to meeting and talking with potential new volunteers.

Volunteers can learn more about the services these organizations provide, and how their personal involvement can make a difference.

We all come together to help make Kelowna a great place to live.
