Volunteerism is at the heart of Do Some GoodB次元官网网址檚 origin story. Nearly 10 years ago, the platformB次元官网网址檚 founder, Sheldon Gardiner, was looking for volunteer opportunities in Kelowna for his two daughters, and found this to be no easy task. Do Some Good was created to fill the critical social need of matching volunteers with community organizations who greatly needed support.
B次元官网网址淛ust as we wouldnB次元官网网址檛 be here without volunteerism, Do Some Good also wouldnB次元官网网址檛 exist, and couldnB次元官网网址檛 be the catalyst for significant community impact, without the amazing support of key community partners,B次元官网网址� says Hoffart. B次元官网网址淎 big thank you to our partners B次元官网网址� Interior Savings, Prospera Credit Union, Black Press Media, and First West Credit Union B次元官网网址� who continue to be our biggest advocates in the community.B次元官网网址�

Do Some Good chose the Credit Union Foundation of B.C. because of the long-time support the platform has received from Credit Unions, how community support is intrinsic to all Credit Unions in Canada, and to keep funds local where the award was won.
