YOU Guuuuyyyys.... I'm tearing up. You are sooooo Amazing!!! How do I begin to express how much you are appreciated? Thank you so much for volunteering for The Christmas Bureau at The Taste of Edmonton. Every day I reached out for volunteers, and every day you responded with enthusiasm and dedication.
Despite facing many obstacles, including a heatwave, poor air quality due to fire smoke, high winds, and even rain, you helped us fill the volunteer positions. On our lowest day, we reached 90%, and on three of those days, we achieved 100% coverage. In total, we had 113 volunteers who completed 495 of the 512 shifts, contributing 1,855 hours over the 11 days of the event.
What does all that mean? With a final overall average of 96.6%, we earned almost $24,000 in honourium from The Taste of Edmonton. Your generosity of your time will help those experiencing food insecurity enjoy a festive meal, bringing JOY to their homes during this Christmas season.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for bringing the JOY and the LOVE to Christmas 2024.
