Volunteers are needed for Bowen Island's Emergency Social Services.
ESS provides short-term disaster relief across British Columbia in the event of fires, floods, earthquakes and other emergencies. It depends on community volunteers to plan and provide for the essential needs of individuals, families and response workers. This may include food, shelter, clothing, emotional support and finding loved ones.
The Bowen Island team Reidun van Kervel, Carolyn McDonald, Jen McGowan, Sheree Johnson, Nairn Knipe, Susan Bell, Roberta Bagshaw, Gale Lyttle, Sophie Taylor and Carol Hussey needs help. They are looking for new volunteers who:
Have a concern for people affected by disaster, and want to help
Have good communication skills
Are flexible and work well as a team
Are in good health
Have a sense of adventure
No specific skills are required to become a volunteer. If you'd like to be a part of the team, please contact ESS director Reidun van Kervel at947-2276 or email [email protected].
