Individual Volunteering

“EVERYBODY CAN BE GREAT. BECAUSE ANYBODY CAN SERVE…YOU ONLY NEED A HEART FULL OF GRACE. A SOUL GENERATED BY LOVE.” – MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

At Parramatta Mission, we are deeply grateful for all volunteers, whose kindness and commitment have made possible our goal to visit Grace upon our community through our services. For that reason, we want to provide a positive experience to all volunteers who put up their hands and choose to work with us.

Meet our Volunteers

The heartbeat of our community! Each of us brings unique talents and warming kindness to our cause, whether it’s feeding hundreds daily, running playgroup for children, educating public or lending a helping hand at one of our awesome events throughout the year.

Our way is one of working together and growing together. By dedicating time and skills to make a real difference in the lives of others, we are each made stronger in return on our own journey.

And we know how to have fun too, as we work together to create the best community for all.
