May Canil has been a member of the Nicola Valley Health Care Auxiliary for the past 10 years.
Prior to her role with the auxiliary she was a volunteer with Victim Services in Surrey, as well as in Merritt.
For May, volunteering has been a good opportunity for her to get involved in the community.
It has also allowed her to work with people, something that she greatly enjoys.
She feels that the combination of familiar faces and those from out of town make volunteering at the thrift shop very interesting.
Throughout her time as a volunteer with the auxiliary, May filled the thrift shop convenor position for six years.
Currently, she runs the cash register and assists customers.
She believes the auxiliary has many important roles within the community, such as providing low-cost clothing and household options at the thrift shop and raising money for much needed health care equipment.
She hopes to see the auxiliary expand in the future, allowing for more funds to be raised.
In addition to volunteering, May enjoys flower gardening, fishing and camping.
We are very grateful for the dedication, kindness, and service that May provides at the thrift shop.
