Linda Burney Instagram – Volunteers often go unacknowledged for all the work they do.
Today I held a National Volunteer Week morning tea and awards ceremony for over 100 volunteers to celebrate their hard work.
This year’s Volunteer Week theme is Something For Everyone, and these amazing people show there really is a volunteer role for everyone.
It was special to also honour the late Michael Shiel, a volunteer at Gift of Bread who passed suddenly last month, and present an award to his mother Patricia. He died doing what he loved: working for those doing it tough.
Thank you to Kogarah Storehouse Chair Russell Foxe, manager Lala and the team for hosting us. Since 1992 the Storehouse has been a hub for volunteers, so it was the perfect place to gather! | Posted on 24/May/2024 12:33:41
