Orange Sky Mackay is responding to increased demand for their services by adding another evening shift to their roster.
With the assistance of another community minded organisation, Team Global Express (TGE), providing a fortnightly barbecue, Orange Sky will welcome friends on every second Wednesday night, starting on Wednesday, April 26.
The laundry shift will operate from 5:30 to 7:30pm with the TGE firing up the barbecue.
“We are seeing an increased demand for our services over the past 12-15 months,” said Orange Sky Mackay Service Leader Lisa Jamieson.
“Eight months ago, we added a brekky shift that is supported by the Phoenix Place team, and now we are looking to add another evening shift to our roster to try and cope with the demand and help more people out.
“Thanks to our team of wonderful Orange Sky volunteers that are joining this new shift, so our washers and dryers are spinning around.
“Our service provides free access to laundry machines for those needing them, along with the opportunity to sit down and have a chat in a supportive environment.”
If you are interested in joining the team, head down to the Mackay service at Juliet Street and have a chat with the team or you can come and have a chat at the volunteer expo on Sunday, May 7.
