I decided to volunteer with TAAS, as no one ever knows when they might need their help. I work from 9 till 4 every Friday and I love it. I started in the Donations area and now work on the till, which I love to do. I love the Customer Service side, chatting with customers, so many who have had to use TAAS themselves or know others who have.
