25.01.2022 When Gina Poulos and her team of volunteers deliver food parcels to the needy, they bring both nourishment and love. In everything you do, if you’ve got your heart in it, you will get blessed. When we go out to give the food, the love goes with us, Gina said.... Gina is the driving force behind the Theodora’s Cheerful Givers charity, which provides food parcels to the disadvantaged. The group is based in Frankston City and delivers food to the greater Frankston area and suburbs in surrounding municipalities. Theodora’s Cheerful Givers was recognised in September when it was named ‘Winning Organisation’ and received $1000 as part of this year’s Impact Volunteering Volunteer of the Year Awards. Gina said the money was used to buy food and came at a critical time when requests for help had tripled due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Children are at home and they eat more because they’re indoors.Families are using more electricity and they don’t have the money for food, she said. Gina said the award had provided a huge boost for Theodora’s Cheerful Givers. It was wonderful to be recognised. It’s great for morale. Our volunteers are very special.

02.01.2022 Why volunteer? With busy lives, it can be difficult to find time to volunteer but by making that extra effort you’ll soon discover the enormous benefits of volunteering. Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. ... Connected to the right role can help you to find friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career. Giving to others can also support good mental and physical health; alleviating stress and depression, keeping you mentally stimulated and provide a sense of purpose and belonging.
