International Volunteer Day 2023

Hospice Quinte: Changing Lives Podcast

Did you know that December 5th is International Volunteer Day as proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1997? This day is set aside not only to recognize the efforts of UN volunteers, but of all volunteers across the globe. So why recognize volunteerism? Volunteerism helps to ensure that the needs of individuals who are often forgotten, or unable to manage without assistance are addressed as well as to bring recognition to the needs to those in our communities who require assistance.
Learn all about the good volunteers do in this week's episode.
