Five of the 20 Snowbird Volunteers at the Nearly New Shop.
Snowbird Volunteers Flying North: Replacements Needed
The Nearly New Shop in the Sun City Center Plaza is the fundraising department of the Sun City Center Interfaith Social Action Council and is staffed totally by volunteers. The Shop is very fortunate to have Snowbirds volunteer during the winter months and help with the many tasks needed to prepare donated goods for sale. When spring and summer arrive the Snowbirds head to their northern homes and the Nearly New finds the need for volunteers to fill the gaps. The Nearly New Shop must fully operate in order for the Interfaith Council to be able to provide grants to organizations and to fund scholarships to graduating seniors at Lennard and East Bay high schools. If you can volunteer please call the Nearly New Shop at 813-642-9099 or go by the shop which is located behind the Bon Worth store in the Sun City Center Plaza.

Each year a few of the Squad’s dedicated volunteers choose to pursue their Emergency Medical Technician certification. These volunteers who have been with the Squad for several years, chose to pursue a different path to their EMT certification, going through National Medical Emergency Training Center and the National EMS Institute, both located in Massachusetts.
