Volunteers needed at Red Cross
Kilcoy's Red Cross store is making a plea for anyone to join their volunteer team so it can continue its operating hours without disruption.
Organiser told The Sentinel that Tuesday and Thursday are the days that need volunteers the most, as there are currently only three available.
However, Red Cross volunteer Steven said any extra person on any day would help.
“Ideally, we need about half a dozen, but just one person would help,” he said.
“A lot of people who have been here have reached retirement age and left , and a couple of ladies have had health conditions and can’t be here,” he said.
The store currently has 20 volunteers, but some only come in for three hours, some come in all day, and they come in on different days of the week with varying frequencies.
The volunteer work includes sorting through donations and attending to customers, with two staff members always working.
The store is open from 9 am to 4 pm Monday to Friday and from 9 am to 12 pm on Saturdays, located at 32 William Street, Kilcoy
