On International Volunteer Day 2008, 15 members from Stace Hammond's Auckland and Hamilton offices are volunteering at the YWCA of Hamilton.Volunteers will be getting their hands dirty with a spot of painting and some light gardening. Alongside YWCA volunteer drivers, SH staff will also help deliver Mobile Meals to 100 elderly, ill and injured recipients in Hamilton.
Earlier in the week, on 1st of December, the YWCA Board volunteers organised the inaugural World AIDS Day BBQ/picnic at the Hamilton YWCA. Margaret Walden, YWCA, Geoff Ruaine, New Zealand AIDS Foundation and Jane Bruning, Positive Women were guest speakers at the event. Over 200 balloons were released at the end of the event to remember those affected by HIV and AIDS.
Thousands of volunteers have generously contributed their talents and time to support the YWCA since it was established in Hamilton 65 years ago. The YWCA would like to say a big thank you to all those who volunteer at the YWCA.
