Amber
Volunteer with Four Pillars

"I lost my brother to addiction, I know how recovery and volunteering helped him so I wanted to give back and volunteer and maybe help someone else on their road to recovery."

Jackie
Volunteer with Alcohol & Drugs Action

"When I lost my job due to my multiple sclerosis this place became a lifeline. Volunteering one day a week allows me to contribute, even in small ways. I like to give something back, even if it's just a little.
