Volunteer Appreciation Week

It’s Volunteer Week 2026, and along with our whole community of volunteers, we spoke with Chris, who has just started giving his time to MarionLIFE.

Chris and Chris: one of our newest volunteers spending some time with our ED!

“From the first time I met the staff at MarionLIFE I felt listened to, and involved in deciding how I could best contribute. As I love sharing time, stories and food with others, we found the perfect match in the fortnightly Community Meal program. It’s great to feel cared for as a volunteer.”

MarionLIFE focuses on how we do things, as much as on what we do, and our volunteers bring this to life every day. Thanks so much Chris, and to all our volunteers, for your work with our community. MarionLIFE literally couldn’t do what it does without you!
