Christine McCall, CEO of the Yarraville Commmunity Centre says, “we are thrilled to be celebrating the immeasurably valuable work our volunteers do not only for our center but for our local community. Their dedication and contribution is essential to the success of the services we provide to our community”
The volunteers at Yarraville Community Centre donated over 1500 hours of service in 2020 which included making over 200 face masks and providing food relief for their local community during the pandemic.
