Volunteer Week 2024

by

Volunteer Week 2024, which runs from April 14 to 20, is an opportunity to highlight the commitment of volunteers to the Sjögren’s Syndrome Association.

As active participants, our volunteers contribute to the promotion, development, support and outreach of our organization and its mission.

“Volunteering means joining a movement where it’s good to give and receive, whatever the size or nature of your contribution. When it comes to the heart, there are no small gestures. We can all contribute in our own way, volunteering in unison.

FCABQ and Réseau de l’action bénévole du Québec.

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS!
