Fantastic news – it's time to get ready for My City Care's "Stuff the Bus" event.
This project is all about supporting students and families as they gear up for the new school year.
Stuff the Bus is a 2-day event, each date taking place in a different area of the city. If you are signing up to volunteer for multiple days, click on the individual link for the appropriate day. (So, two days will be two separate links.) But if you volunteer for different times on the same day, you can do that using the same link. (it's easier than it sounds).
Here are the details you need:
Date: Aug 21-Westside - YMCA, 74 Mauretania Rd W
Time: Times will vary depending on the volunteer position
Time: Times will vary depending on the volunteer positionLink for Westside- https://volunteersignup.org/
Date: Aug 22-Southside - CASA, 230 8th St S
Time: Times will vary depending on the volunteer positionLink for City Central - https://volunteersignup.org/
Worried about not being a seasoned volunteer? No worries at all! We welcome everyone – newbies, pros, and everyone in between! Your enthusiasm and positive energy are all you need to make this day extraordinary.

Guest Speaker
Amanda Jensen, Executive Director, Volunteer Lethbridge
Amanda has been serving the non-profit sector, largely in Southern Alberta for the past 25 years and shared some important insights about the social and economic impacts of volunteering. She notes that in 2023 Volunteer Lethbridge directly or indirectly supported 57% of Lethbridge residents who volunteered… which represents more than 60,000 volunteers who each contributed an average of 91 hours each! That equates to a $134M economic impact to Lethbridge and area.
Amanda holds a B. Mgt from U of L, and a M.A. in Organizational Leadership from the University of Guelph.
