Regular Opportunities

North Ryde Community Aid Social Luncheon Club

Job No: C0201
Number of employee volunteers needed: 6–10
Date: Every Tuesday
Time: 10.30am–3.30pm
Additional Costs: approx $80
Location: North Ryde
Requirements: Comfortable casual clothing and Closed in shoes.

The range and diversity of corporate volunteering activities can be diverse and rewarding for all involved. Employee volunteers will create a feast for this social club which is held on a monthly basis for socially isolated older people in the Ryde area. Employees will be getting busy in the kitchen and whipping up a feast of fresh food for 20 clients that attend this Social Club. Employees will be cooking for the day (kitchen facilities attached to the centre for the corporate group to utilise) and joining in on the festivities.

This is a great way to support an organisation that has limited funds and resources, as the company will purchase the food (approx $80) they need for cooking, then cook a healthy meal and join the group for some social interaction.
