    From April 18 to May 8 2016, The South Okanagan Similkameen Volunteer Centre is hosting an online auction to raise funds for programs that support volunteers.   Bid on items donated by local businesses, or donate online in support!  Remember to pass the auction on to friends and family - They will not want to miss out on the unique auction items and packages.  Thank you for your interest, your participation, your most of all your support.

    Our communities are built on the efforts of volunteers.   We all know someone who gives of their time; a friend, a neighbour, a family member.  Volunteers help people in need, they help rescue animals in distress and volunteers help ensure the quality of our communities and environment. Funds raised through this auction go towards supporting these volunteers and encouraging more residents to volunteer.

    The SOSVC is a Registered Provincial Society and Registered Federal Charity that:

  • Provides easy access to opportunities that allows people to connect to their community through volunteering. 
  • Works with other community groups to improve their ability to recruit, manage, retain and appreciate volunteers.
  • Helps the public find volunteer opportunities that fit their interests and needs.  Youth, for example, often seek to develop skills and employability, and improve their job prospects.
  • Encourages the public to volunteer, and raises awareness about volunteering.
  • Collaborates with governments, community leaders and organizations to speak on behalf of volunteers and volunteering.
