Our promise to you
Without your loyal support, we couldn't do what we do. Lazarus Community Centre Geelong relies on our great team, mostly volunteers, and the kind donations from our community to help those in our community who need it most.
It is our promise to keep doing everything we can to provide a supportive environment at Lazarus Community Centre.

Thank you team. I hear it was very well received 😋 🤤
To our volunteers who spend countless hours in the kitchen baking for 40+ clients, or elbow deep with dishes or crisis managing a client who needs to be referred off. To those who spend hours of their own time, looking out for others. Thank you.![]()

To everyone who offered us a television when ours broke, to those who mow our nature strip, who collect our rubbish, who help us with rostering, who bring cupcakes. Thank you.![]()

Volunteer week is so special to take the time to acknowledge these people for whom without, we would cease to exist.
