Volunteer Highlights

Making Meaningful Impact in Our Community

Meet Denise:
Meet Denise, a dedicated volunteer who brightens Thursday mornings at the Community Kitchen. Each week, she teams up with the talented Chef Tina to assist with food preparation and cleanup during cooking sessions attended by about half a dozen participants. By the end of the morning, everyone leaves with multiple delicious dishes for their families!
​
Denise thrives on cooking, learning, and tackling challenges, all of which she finds in abundance in the kitchen. She particularly enjoys the camaraderie of the group as they work together to ensure everything is cooked and ready on time.

Outside of her volunteer work, Denise stays active with a hiking club, where she embraces the challenge of reaching breathtaking mountain viewpoints on southern Vancouver Island. She also enjoys learning Italian, participating in fitness classes, and, of course, picking up her twin toddler grandsons from daycare, her favourite day of the week!

Denise feels incredibly grateful to have found such a rewarding volunteer opportunity. We’re lucky to have her as part of our community!
