COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERING
Our shelters work because of the incredible generosity of our Volunteers. If you have time or talent that you believe could help our shelters, reach out directly to one of our nine shelters. Below are details of the types of volunteers our shelters are looking for:
TIME – If you have time to spare to help at one of our shelters, please get in contact using form opposite. We are always looking for help with the day to day running of the shelter and with fundraising events.
TREASURE – The needs of Shelters change all the time, but items always welcome are non-perishable foodstuffs, laundry and cleaning products. We also welcome donations of office stationery. There are always specific items that crop up so please let us know what you have to donate and we can point you in the right direction.
TALENT – If you are a retiree or a professional who is willing to offer services pro-bono to one of our shelters, please reach out.
At our HUB we would welcome the assistance of volunteers who would be happy to pick up and deliver items to shelter contact points.
(Please note, Women’s Community Shelters is currently only operating in New South Wales, Australia and can only provide volunteering opportunities within the state.)
