Mums need help
Not-for-profit organisation Geelong Mums is inviting local businesses to participate in their workplace volunteering program.
“Workplace teams provide hands on help, cleaning, sorting and packing donations so that we can get them out to families in need as quickly as possible,” Geelong Mums general manager Julia Roache said.
