MEET two very lovely ladies who have spent many of their senior years giving their time back to the local community by volunteering for The Salvation Army.
June Zelley, who has volunteered for more than 20 years, said that she has always been a ‘salvo’ and she will continue to give her time for as long as she can.
“The Salvation Army is a part of my life. I enjoy helping people to smile. I was an officer, and I have been helping people with welfare issues since I was 14,” said June. She laughed and added “I am part of the furniture.”
Ellen Hyland has been volunteering also for a large amount of time and said her 11 years with the Salvos has been enjoyable.
“People need to feel worthy and valued. Sometimes they just need a cuddle and a chat. I care about our community and people,” said Ellen.
These wonderful ladies can be found helping at The Salvation Army on a regular basis and both said, “that giving a little, can be so much, to someone else.”
