Let’s give a round of applause to our wonderful volunteer Charlie Grixti who this month officially clocked over 10 years of volunteering with us!
Charlie joins a just handful of volunteers who have hit the milestone. Ten years on, Charlie still volunteers each week with a big smile on his face, heading out in our rescue vans across the region.
Luckily, he loves driving, as over the years he’s been volunteering with us, he’s probably driven tens of thousands of kilometres around Central Victoria doing drop-offs and pick-ups.
While reflecting on his time as one of our longest-serving volunteers, Charlie recalls, “When I first started here, it was all just retirees, but now they’re all sorts of people, every time I come in there’s someone new!”
Charlie’s favourite part about being involved in Bendigo Foodshare? “I like to work, and I like to do this. It makes you feel good. Helping.”
