From 12pm, 17 September until 6pm, 26 October 2024, councils across Victoria must comply with the caretaker period rules.
In her volunteer work with Spotlight, Donna teaches crocheting, knitting and sewing. Those that she works with are often isolated - single mums or people from non-English speaking backgrounds – and they come to Donna wanting help to finish a jumper or wanting to learn how to crochet or wanting to improve their spoken English.
Donna is also involved in several community services, including Community Lunch/School Breakfast Program at Brentwood Secondary College; Christmas Cheer, providing food and toys; and bread pickup from local bakeries.
One of her most notable contributions is through Café Care - where attendees often face significant life issues - and Donna goes above and beyond to support them.
