Lending a hand in our community

 Work together. 

That is what we need to do to help in our community.

The staff at Intrepid Travel Vacations recently spent some time volunteering at our local Salvation Army. During our time there, we helped to sort through many boxes of donations. Some boxes contained food donations, while other boxes contained clothing. The food donations were sorted and later added to the food bank pantry, and the clothes were organized by type and season. There were many winter coats and scarves which will be needed for our harsh Canadian winter. 

Serving others in our community helps to bring us all together in our work and in our city. We are one community, and it is wonderful to have the opportunity to help out. We have been trying to come up with different ways to we can continue to contribute to our community. Our plans now include helping at the local SPCA, doing a toy drive at Christmas, and to repeat something we have done in previous years and collect socks for our local homeless shelters. 

Next month a group of us will be volunteering with the Salvation Army soup truck to hand out hot soup to the homeless in Hamilton. Do you have some local places that you like to volunteer at? Let us know in the comments below!
