Each year on International Volunteer Day, communities around the world come together to recognize the power of volunteerism and the people who make it possible.
This December 5, the Kingston Military Family Resource Centre (KMFRC) and Personnel Support Programs (PSP) invite you to join us for an evening of appreciation, connection, and celebration.

Our “sips & nibbles” social is a relaxed opportunity to share stories, enjoy good company, and reflect on the incredible impact of volunteers across our military community.

Please note: while the Vimy Officers’ Mess normally has a formal dress code, this event is casual — jeans are welcome!
