Volunteerism is at the heart of Do Some Goodsa国际传媒檚 origin story. Nearly 10 years ago, the platformsa国际传媒檚 founder, Sheldon Gardiner, was looking for volunteer opportunities in Kelowna for his two daughters, and found this to be no easy task. Do Some Good was created to fill the critical social need of matching volunteers with community organizations who greatly needed support.
sa国际传媒淛ust as we wouldnsa国际传媒檛 be here without volunteerism, Do Some Good also wouldnsa国际传媒檛 exist, and couldnsa国际传媒檛 be the catalyst for significant community impact, without the amazing support of key community partners,sa国际传媒� says Hoffart. sa国际传媒淎 big thank you to our partners sa国际传媒� Interior Savings, Prospera Credit Union, Black Press Media, and First West Credit Union sa国际传媒� who continue to be our biggest advocates in the community.sa国际传媒�
Regional recipients of Canadasa国际传媒檚 volunteer award were able to identify a not-for-profit organization to receive a $5,000 grant. Do Some Good chose the Credit Union Foundation of B.C. because of the long-time support the platform has received from Credit Unions, how community support is intrinsic to all Credit Unions in Canada, and to keep funds local where the award was won.
