Edd, SVSS Volunteer Driver

Edd is an especially compassionate volunteer who supports SVSS clients by delivering Prepared Meals every week. Pre-COVID 19 he also drove clients to medical appointments.


Edd’s special talent is an ability to sense when a client may be having difficulties and in need of additional support. He is a valuable part of our Volunteer Team.


Thank you Edd for so generously giving your time and a helping hand to SVSS clients.

Lillian’s sparkling energy is an inspiration to us all as SVSS. Joining the Volunteer team to help when COVID first began, Lillian is a joy to know. She has taken on several jobs including providing assisted transportation, driving Clients to those vital medical appointments, delivering food bank hampers every week plus delivering Prepared Meals every Wednesday to 14 clients. All with a smile.

Ron, Volunteer Advisory Council Member

In his 3rd year of volunteering for SVSS, Ron has enthusiastically jumped on board. He began as a Volunteer Driver, taking Clients to medical appointments. He also became a Companion Visitor, support a Client who was alone.


With the start of COVID Ron switched roles in two ways: weekly delivering the Prepared Meals to 10 clients and sitting on our Volunteer Advisory Council – a group of volunteers who meet with staff every month to give feedback and insight into improving SVSS programs and services.

We couldn’t do what we do without a strong, multi-talented supporter like Ron.
