To honour these dedicated community members, KDHS is hosting a special Volunteers Week celebration on Thursday, May 29, recognising their contributions.

From 10.30am at KDHS’ Orange Room, KDHS volunteers are invited to join staff for a delightful morning tea, featuring local treats and heartfelt appreciation.

In the spirit of this year’s Volunteers Week theme ‘creating communities’, KDHS has a proposition for the community.

The KDHS team is excited to welcome new volunteers, offering a range of rewarding positions for community-minded individuals to make a real difference.

KDHS are seeking volunteer drivers, car washers for community vehicles, acute care visitors, lifestyle activity helpers, mail delivery volunteers, and support roles in Kyabram, Tongala and Stanhope.

If you're seeking a fulfilling way to contribute to your community, forge new friendships, and be part of a vital support network, consider joining the dedicated volunteer team at KDHS.

To express your interest in volunteering, contact KDHS volunteer coordinator Alma Limbrick on 03 5857 0463 or email alimbrick@kyhealth.org.au
