Supporters and volunteers of YES2SCS!

At our final volunteer orientation and strategy session we decided to continue to have regular YES2SCS meetings for the purpose of staying connected, sharing experiences of how the campaign is going and offering trainings on an as needed basis.

Our next volunteer meeting will be held on Monday, April 28, 2014 from 6:30-8:00pm at Sands Funeral Chapel at 1803 Quadra Street. Coffee, tea and snacks will be provided!

At this meeting, members of Street College will offer a presentation about SCS from their experiential perspectives. We will have a chance for discussion, comments and questions from the group.

Sands collects non-perishable food items for the mustard seed. Not required, but please bring em' if you've got em'. Also, there is free parking in the back of Sands off North Park.
