Hundreds of volunteers provide valuable support to Orange’s City Council’s community services, and this week there’ll be an opportunity to thank them.
Orange City Council’s community services wing, Choices at Home, will acknowledge the crucial work of volunteers at a Garden Party to be hosted in their honour.
Orange Mayor Reg Kidd believes it’s important to recognize the many contributions that volunteers make.
“Many of Orange City Council Community Services rely on the valuable contribution made by volunteers throughout the year,” Cr Reg Kidd said.
“It’s important we acknowledge the continued support of volunteers, whose donation of time and energy, is essential in securing the continuation and success many of our services.”
“International Volunteers Day is traditionally celebrated 5 December each year, however Council will celebrate a little earlier this year with some help from the students of Canobolas Rural Technology High School Hospitality class who will provide and serve a light luncheon.
The event will be held on Thursday 23 November 2017 at the HACC Centre 286 Lords Place Orange beginning at 11:30am.
Choices at Home supports older people so that they remain living independently at home as long as possible by providing practical support such as:
- Meals on Wheels
- Community Visitors
- Men’s Group
- Women’s Shed
- Shopping Service
- Telecare
- Community Visiting
- Minor Home Maintenance
