Why we need you to register

Even if you have volunteered before and have previously filled out the form, please do so again at the beginning of every new shelter season as it lets us know you have returned for the current winter season. We need to have updated records for insurance purposes, and updated records also helps us know how many volunteers we have and who to invite to our end of year Thank You event.

Please do ask us or your volunteer coordinator if you would like more detailed information on anything covered.
