Local palliative care community hospice, Katie Rose Cottage, is urgently calling for volunteers across all of their five Op Shops from Noosa to Maroochydore.
The op ahops provide vital funds, to help cover the cost of their dedicated, highly skilled professional palliative care nurses who provide round-the-clock palliative care to those in our community facing end-of-life at no cost, when every moment matters.
This hospice which services from Caloundra to Gympie, is one of just a few hospices in Australia, offering palliative care at no cost.
Whilst Queensland Health contributes approximately 35 per cent of this $1.3 million cost, they rely on donations from the community, grants, fundraising events, and funds raised through the Op Shops, to meet the shortfall in funding.
The op shops not only provide important income stream for the organisation, but they also provide a great social outlet for many our many wonderful volunteers.
The op shops are located in Noosaville (just off Eumundi Road,) Tewantin, Cooroy, Noosa Junction and Maroochydore.
Become part of a passionate, fun-loving team. Learn new skills and meet new friends.
Full training is provided and rosters are flexible: Monday to Friday between 9-4.30pm
If you can spare a few hours each week, to help in the op shop, please contact Lena on 0428 649 413 to register your interest, or visit the volunteers page on their website at katierosecottage.org.au/volunteer
