OUR VOLUNTEERS: AN ENDLESS SOURCE OF SOLIDARITY AND COMPASSION
Cornwall, January 24, 2023 – In recent weeks, the Centre de santé communautaire de l’Estrie (CSCE) has been recognizing the exceptional contribution of its volunteers from each of its sites. Whether through programs such as the Green Food Box, vaccination clinics or ongoing involvement in exercise or recreational activities, the CSCE volunteers are an endless source of solidarity and compassion for the communities of Eastern Ontario.
In appreciation of their time and dedication to the well-being of the community, the CSCE’s Community Health Team hosted several events in December and January, highlighted by expressions of appreciation, team-building activities and door prizes. In all, more than 30 CSCE volunteers were honoured during these events.
For Marc Therrien, Manager of Community Health and Mental Health Programs at the CSCE, it was essential to recognize the contribution of our volunteers following the pandemic: “It’s so nice to see you in person, finally! This event is an important step as we return to a more normal life that we enjoyed so much before the COVID-19 crisis. To maintain good community health, we need vibrant relationships that keep us going. Thank you to all the volunteers working at CSCE and keep it up!”
An integral part of the CSCE’s successes, the talent, time and energy that these persons devote to volunteering enhance the quality of the services offered. CSCE’s volunteers provide precious support for many programs and activities, including:
- Vaccination clinics
- Cards/knitting/sandbag clubs
- Community gardens
- Support groups
- Green Food Box program
- Exercise programs/badminton/walking clubs
