On November 18 York Region Branch is hosting it's 16th Annual Black and White Gala to raise funds for our Community Service units. These funds are used to cover the costs of vehicles, fuel, first aid supplies, uniforms, and training for over 400 volunteers that give back over 38,000 hours to the community we serve. Our community services units are Medical First Responders, Therapy dogs, Youth program, Car seat educators, and Fellowship. Our Medical First repsonders provide first aid coverage at community events. Our Therapy dogs visit long term car facilities, hospitals, schools, and workplaces to provide comfort and support to those they visit. Our Car seat educators inspect car seats and teach parents how to properly install their car seats. Our Youth program gives young individuals the opportunity to learn first aid and volunteer in their communities, fostering their personal development and commitment to service.
