Enjoy meeting people? Have an interest in helping people? Want to get out of the house for a few hours? Then a position as a volunteer in the Red Cross Op-Shop might be for you.
Red Cross Op-Shop coordinator Penny Lancaster said she is short of volunteers for the shop which is open three days a week for five hours. For various reasons, such as loss of transportation to having to move out of the district or being unwell, regular volunteers give up the "job" they love.
"We try to give everyone only one slot, either two or three hours, a week," said Lancaster.
As coordinator she is the floating person, stepping in when people are unable to come.
"We need at least three people. It would be great if we could find at least one person willing to step in when needed. The lady who has done that thus far is now filling a permanent slot."
