Volunteers make a real difference to our lives and to the community in which we live, whether it's:
- delivering meals
- helping others in an emergency
- patrolling our beaches
- running our sporting clubs
- supporting the needs of others.
National Volunteer Week is celebrated from 9-15 May, and is a timely reminder for us to say thanks to all South Australian Volunteers.
