  • Community Harvest Volunteer
    Feel good by making a difference …
     
    Would you like to be involved with other volunteers to support elderly council residents by delivering a bundle of fresh and delicious produce every fortnight?
     
    Community Harvest volunteers meet at the Sturt Bowling Club every second Thursday morning to pack and deliver fresh fruit and vegetables to residents’ front doors. The added bonus to the service is knowing that residents look forward to a friendly knock on their door and time for a hello and chat.
     
    Social support plays an important role in these people’s lives. This is an opportunity to support them to live a healthy and happy lifestyle.
     
    The Community Harvest Program is funded by the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) providing services to eligible residents to keep them independent so they can remain to live in their own home.  Volunteer support provides assistance to enhance and promote independent living to improve their daily lives.
     
    If you are interested in joining this program, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator on 8372 5436 or apply online.
