We had a really great day in Prince George.  As soon as we arrived we were put to work.  We put apron's on (which roland looked absolutely gorgeous in) and we helped the other dedicated volunteers prepare and serve lunch and of course doing the clean up afterwards.  It was super fun working with the ladies in the kitchen and the day went by very quickly.  We thought it was great how much effort goes into presenting the meals in a nice way (ensuring lots of colour is used etc) and trying to incorporate a balanced diet for their clients.  There was also a newspaper article in the local paper about what we are doing to help get some advertising for the Salvation Army and encourage new volunteers.  Click here to see the article.  You'll love how we look in hair nets!

    Volunteer work with the Salvation Army

    Part of what we wish to accomplish over the next year is not only the cycling, but also giving back to the communities which we will pass through. 

    When we hit a town that has Salvation Army services, we offer our hands-on help for a day or two in the hope of encouraging the regular volunteers and also providing some relief in the volume of work that is demanded of them.

    We chose the Salvation Army because they are well respected, give practical help to those that are in need and they are also situated throughout Pan-America.

    We feel very priviledged to be associated with this hardworking organisation.   We hope that the work we do (albeit small) will be of some worth and also raise awareness of all the good work the Salvation Army does for others.
