      Success Story

      In 2022 I entered one of my paintings into the Kamloops Arts Council “Art Exposed” exhibition. I learned that the painting had been purchased by Volunteer Kamloops for their TimeRaiser event and I was very pleased. Both my husband Ivon and I attended the event and we a) had a great time, b) learned a lot about volunteer opportunities in Kamloops; and c) bought a painting with volunteer time!

      It was difficult to choose among the volunteer options in payment of the painting we “purchased”, however, as animal lovers and “pet parents’ we were strongly attracted to the work of Four Paws pet food bank and I offered them the 55 hours of my time I had bid for my new work of art.

      I started my volunteer hours early in 2023 and I have loved every minute of it. Weekly, my pug Gabe and I pick up donated pet food from the 2 Total Pet locations in Kamloops and deliver it to Four Paws. In addition, my husband and I have both volunteered at the food bank itself. This gave us the opportunity to directly meet the clients that are served so well by the pet food bank. I completed my donation hours around July of 2023 but have no intention of terminating my volunteering with Four Paws. It has been very rewarding.

      I highly recommend the TimeRaiser event, the opportunity to purchase original artwork for time instead of money, and a chance to give back to our community by volunteering with a local charity that contributes to Kamloops.
