Today marks the start of one of our favourite weeks of the year, National Volunteer Week!

Woden Community Service was built from the ground up by volunteers who believed that community is worth showing up for. That spirit lives on in every hour given, every hand extended and every person helped.

Stay tuned all week to see how we celebrate the amazing people who make us who we are. We can't wait to share it with you!
