Celebrating National Volunteer Week - Supporting our community
To celebrate this important week, we are proud to introduce you to Unite Interactive's Murray Hill, a volunteer for the Red Cross
's "Friendly Calls Program."
Learn how his father, a veteran of the Second World War, inspired him to make a difference in people's lives through volunteering.
When there was an opportunity to volunteer with the Friendly Calls program, Murray, a career salesman, thought it fit his skills perfectly. The program matches people over the age of 18 with trained Red Cross personnel who connect with them on regular phone calls to check-in, provide emotional support, and suggest well-being resources and community connections to other existing services.
Making connections can have a lasting impact on both volunteers and callers involved in the Friendly Calls program. Murray's desire to forge those connections is what has led to an almost two-year friendship with a Friendly Calls participant who he chats with weekly.
Unite Interactive is a a top Canadian website design and digital marketing agency based in Winnipeg and Vancouver with resources throughout the globe.
