    Default volunteer work

    If someone wanted to do some volunteer work ..where would you look/go?
    I'm talking about adults not teens or kids.

    There's always room for more volunteers in the Meals onWheels program, operating out of the F.J. Davey Home.

    To find out more, call 942-2204, extension 239.

    I used to volunteer at a lot of places that were fun-
    I got my dog certified at the Saint John Abulance-for therapy dog work in the retirement homes..but I don't think you got a dog..


    I did volunteering in schools...did some for the NDP-but mostly at xmas for the christmas cheer stuff..I'm note sure what else, just what everyone else has mentioned I can think of.
    When I was born I was so surprised I didn’t talk for a year and a half.
