De Paul House News
| 25 Volunteers Celebrated - Thursday, July 30, 2009 De Paul House thanked and acknowledged the wonderful support of 25 volunteers during Volunteer Awareness Week in June.
A celebratory lunch for the day-to-day volunteers as well as coffee and cake for the student volunteers helped recognise just how invaluable their time and effort is to the operation of De Paul House.
De Paul house relies heavily on volunteer input and currently has over 80 volunteers registered. The items and services provided by the volunteers include clothing, food and furniture bank maintenance, playgroup supervision, and gardening, cooking tutorials, and driving.
Students from local high schools supervise the primary school children of De Paul House in the homework centre and work with them each day from 4-5pm. This gives the students, early on in life, the sense that volunteering is a rewarding contribution to the community they live in.
“Without these volunteers, De Paul House would not be able to provide the range of services available to the families we help” said Catherine McClintock De Paul House Manager.
