there are so many ways you can help support healthcare
excellence - volunteering is another way to give!
100-plus
volunteers give generously of their time and skills to assist the
Foundation and the Nanaimo Lifeline Program in a variety of capacities
– from installing Lifeline units in client homes to selling
Lotto for Life tickets to helping out in the office. The Foundation
benefits immensely from the dedication of volunteers.
Thank you to our volunteers for your generous support through the gift of your time and talent – we couldn’t do it without you!
