The MSAC relies on dedicated volunteers to help with various activities such as assisting with our lunch program, supporting special events, raising funds, serving on committees, teaching classes, and more. Our volunteers are a vital and valued part of our community.
We serve lunch at noon, Monday through Friday. Dining Room volunteers typically help with one or two lunches each month, based on scheduling by our volunteer coordinator. Their tasks include setting tables, preparing coffee, assisting the Kitchen Manager, serving meals, and helping with clean-up. Volunteers usually commit from 11:15 AM to 1:00 PM Monday-Thursday, and 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM on Fridays, and should be able to stand for most of this time.
Throughout the year, the Centre hosts several fundraising events, such as tag sales, bake sales, the Annual Giving Campaign, a Business Partners Fair, and special luncheons and dinners. Volunteers play key roles in staffing these events or participating as members of our Fundraising Committee.
Additionally, some volunteers lead exercise classes or offer programs and workshops based on their areas of expertise. If you have an idea for a program you'd like to run, we encourage you to contact the office.
If you’re interested in any of these roles or would like to volunteer in another capacity, please complete a volunteer application form and drop it off or mail it to the Senior Centre office. You’re also welcome to call us at 682-7889 for more information.
