This National Volunteers Week, help us celebrate the incredible people who give their time, energy, and heart to our communities — our volunteers.
Visit a Gratitude Tree near you at:
Beechworth Library
Rutherglen Library
Yackandandah Post Office
Chiltern IGA
Tangambalanga Lions Den
Write a message of thanks on a leaf and place it on the tree to let our volunteers know just how much they mean to us. Whether it’s a few words or a heartfelt note, your gratitude will go a long way.
Your messages will be displayed at local volunteer celebration events on Friday 23 May, and afterward, the Gratitude Trees will be planted within our communities — a lasting tribute and daily reminder of the amazing work our volunteers do. Our towns would not be as vibrant, welcoming, or supported without them.
Let’s grow a forest of gratitude and celebrate the people who make our communities thrive.
