Position Responsibilities

Tuck Shop Volunteers provide a welcoming and fun atmosphere for hundreds of staff, patients, families and visitors who want a hot coffee, a cold drink, some sweets or a chocolate fix. Gift Shop Volunteers help these same customers to pick out the perfect gift for a patient, to buy a birthday gift for family, and most often, a little something for themselves. Lotto Booth volunteers sell OLG lottery tickets to staff, patients and families; pay out winnings, and maintain control of ticket inventory and payments.

Volunteer Benefits

As a Retail Volunteer at the KGH site of KHSC, you can enhance your customer service skills, gain experience using a digital cash register to handle cash and credit transactions, and experience business in a non-profit setting.
