Association of Administrative Professionals - February Volunteer Month
Event Information
Description
The AAP believes strongly in giving back to our community so for February, our Volunteer Month, we are going to volunteer at the Women in Need Society (WINS) instead of having our monthly dinner meeting.
We will spend the evening sorting goods at the donation center, which will be either given away to women in need and their families, or sold with proceeds going to the programs and services WINS offers. Last year WINS supported over 17,000 individuals - women, men, and children. This will be a heartfelt and feel good evening giving back to those in need.
Donation Centre Address: Unit 128, 1220 – 28 St. NE. If you get lost on your way to the Donation Centre please call 403-255-5012 ext. 227

Parking: You may park your vehicle in any of the “Reserved for WINS” stalls in front of our building or in the back of our building. Since parking is limited please consider carpooling.
What to Wear: Please wear closed toe shoes for protection. Comfortable clothing is best as you will be standing and sorting through boxes and bags. You may also wish to dress in layers as the warehouse can sometime get cold. WINS will provide all other necessary equipment for your volunteer activities.
What to Bring: Bottled water is supplied and you will have access to a secure room where you can leave your personal belongings.
What's for Dinner: Pizza and snacks will be provided
Orientation: Upon arrival, your group will have the opportunity to view a video about WINS and you’ll receive a facility tour and an orientation explaining the volunteer tasks. A WINS representative will be at the Donation Centre during your shift that will be able to answer any questions that may arise.
