As we mark National Volunteer Week (18-24 May), we're celebrating the people who give their time to support our community - and encouraging more locals to get involved.
Meet Ben Reeves, Council's Omeo Mountain Bike Park Coordinator, who has volunteered with Omeo CFA for seven years.
Ben volunteers to help people in times of need, support his community, and do his part to keep others safe.
Here in East Gippsland, 19.2% of our community volunteers - an impressive number.
Whether it's emergency services, community groups or local events, our shire has a bunch of people who deserve recognition on the East Gippsland Volunteer Honour Roll.
Nominations are open year round, so nominate someone today or call 5153 9500 or visit any Council service centre or library.
