Footprints Project Volunteers Needed!

Calling all volunteers! Stefanie & Daniela are looking for volunteers to help with the Footprints Project. We have had an influx of client interest, and have several people waiting to be able to share their stories.

If you have been wondering about this program and would like to learn more about it to see if it is a good fit for your volunteer needs, please reach out to Stefanie or Daniela to discuss further.

The Footprints Project offers legacy activities to individuals living with progressive life-limiting illness. These activities provide a space to reflect on special moments, memories and events that have had an impact, and can act as gifts for loved ones. Hospice Orillia currently offers letter and card writing, scrapbooking and life story books.

We're not used to seeing her without her radiant, beaming smile... but alas, Amy is sad. Why? Because we've almost run out of books in our OPL Book Store! We know (being the kind soul that you are) you'd like to help Amy be her usual joyful self again. So if you're doing some spring cleaning and would like to "re-home" some current fiction or non-fiction that has been published in the last 5 years, we'll gladly take 'em!
