A few words about volunteers from the OSCC Staff: 

Not only do our volunteers share their time, they share their hearts. 

The wisdom of volunteers is the strength that helps us grow strong. 

How to make a volunteer: 

Add a bunch caring, and many kind words 

Add an ear to lend, and a lot of wisdom to be heard 

Add a heart of pure gold, and arms that hug tight 

Add sunshine and smiles and words of delight 

Add strength, kindness and a whole lot of love 

And a volunteer you’ll have our angels from above. 

Thank you for sharing & caring, we are proud and honoured to know each 

and everyone of you. This world does have a silver lining,
