Volunteers

The late Audbur Bishop in one of his many volunteer roles.

Volunteers are the lifeblood, the heart and soul of our rural communities.

Thanks to volunteers, we have fire departments, service clubs and community groups. We can go to community breakfasts and dinners, and to concerts, all organized by volunteers. Students have extra-curricular activities, gardening groups and coaches for their sports teams. Farmers markets, Christmas craft shows and even the Albert County Ex all exist because of volunteers.

The most vulnerable members of our society benefit the most. Nursing home residents can attend more activities and be more engaged in community. Seniors social groups, the food bank and Tele-Drive all rely on volunteers. When a house burns down or a family faces a crisis, volunteers step forward to raise money to support the family. Albert County without volunteers would be lonely and soulless.

Picture our communities. Recall the last few fun events you’ve gone to – were volunteers responsible? Think about when you or a loved one was in need. Did a volunteer help out?

In the next issue of Connecting Albert County, we focus on volunteers. If your organization is looking for volunteers, let us know. We will post volunteer opportunities and, if you send material to [email protected] by noon April 16th, we can include these in our May publication.
