I chose to volunteer because I have a deep passion for helping those in need, especially individual facing homelessness and other challenges. It is important to me to be part of a community that provides support, dignity and hope to people who often feel forgotten.
Volunteering with Surrey Urban Mission has truly been a life-changing experience for me. I still remember my first day there—I was a bit nervous. Unlike other volunteer opportunities I’ve had, this felt a little different from the start. I’ll never forget my first shift.
