YOU ARE IN: Home > Our Supporters + Volunteers

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all who are part of Wimmera UnitingCare - clients, board, staff and volunteers - to our supporters: without you, we would not be able to achieve our mission of  supporting and strengthening individuals, families and communities in the Wimmera and beyond.

We are particularly grateful to the Victorian and Federal Governments, who contribute over 65 per cent of funding towards our programs and services.

Wimmera UnitingCare also relies heavily on volunteers. In the past financial year, over 255 volunteers gave more than 44,000 hours of their time - or the equivalent of an extra $700,000 income - to support our activities.

We have a variety of areas where individuals can volunteer including The Awakenings Festival, No Interest Loan Scheme (NILS) and Foster Care. The range of opportunities is huge. Whatever skills and experience you have, there is something that you can do.
