Brothers in Need: Friday night volunteer program – it’s not all hard work, it’s fun and games too! 

Brothers in Need, a Muslim not-for-profit organisation which distributes food to the needy, would not be able to carry out its work without its solid base of volunteers. One very fun part of being a male volunteer is the Friday night volunteer program at the Brothers in Need centre.  

“There always seems to be such great food….the pizza arrived at the centre a bit early one Friday evening and it smelled so nice…! It was hard to resist sneaking a piece…”, says Dahlia, a Brothers in Need staff member.

Thanks to Rashays Punchbowl for providing the tasty food for Friday nights.

Not only is there great food and dessert – there are games too! Classic ones such as snooker, ping pong…and a genuine Street Fighter game! 

As part of a recent partnership, Microsoft ANZ recently donated an Xbox gaming console, which has proven to be quite popular.

Dahlia further added, “I think that it’s a really great way for the guys to get together and have a laugh and a good time at the end of the week. It’s a good place for the youth to gather too. There’s also a BBQ once a month and the guys really enjoy that too. The whole thing is a great idea.”
