Volunteering at MannaCare

MannaCare values the involvement of volunteers across our services.
They enhance care for residents and clients while strengthening our connection to the community.

MannaCare itself began through the efforts of volunteers. They raise funds to purchase equipment, spend time with residents, and get to know them. Some of our volunteers speak another language, and we match them with residents who share that language so they can enjoy familiar words and phrases, and be comforted by memories of their country of birth. This helps reduce loneliness and isolation.

Volunteers also support our Lifestyle and Leisure programs at Cassia House and the Lodge, the Cassia House Day Respite Program, Doncaster Rehabilitation Services, and Grevillea House’s Planned Activities Group. Many also contribute in administration and finance.
