2026 Could Be Your Year To Volunteer

May 21, 2026 By Roxane Manley

Consider how you too could make a mean­ingful difference in your community. This year’s National Volunteer Week theme, “Your Year to Volunteer,” recognises the in­credible people who already give their time to others and encourages more people to discover the difference volunteering can make.

Vinnies Central & Far West NSW extend sincere thanks to their dedicated Vinnies volunteers and members in Parkes, whose compassion and commitment continue to strengthen our local community.

Through their kindness, care, and practi­cal support, Vinnies volunteers bring hope to those in need and create a strong sense of connection and belonging. Their efforts re­mind us that communities are built through generosity and a willingness to help others.

Acknowledgement goes to the following Parkes Volunteers for their longstanding commitment:

• 30 years: Krytyna Szabo

• 25 years: Garry and Janice Hussey

• 15 years: Neil Cox and Brian Dow

• 10 years: Sarah Bowkett, Alan Curteis, Frances Scurfield, Kate Linnane and Su­san Morrison

• 5 years: Joshua Cowling and Tony Marsh

If you are interested in joining Vinnies, visit your local Vinnies store, contact our Re­gional Office on 02 6862 5758, or email wcf­svdp@vinnies.org.au. Or EOI via the link – https://mvportal.vinnies.org.au/login
