East Rand Palliative Care (ERPC – formerly Hospice East Rand) is looking for volunteers for its Freeway Park and Van Dyk Park charity shops.

This is a chance to not only assist at the shops but also connect with the community while gaining a sense of fulfilment by being of service to others.
From DIY enthusiasts to sales people with the gift to upsell, there is space on their roster to accommodate all.
