City of Cockburn Inspirational Volunteer Awards
Congratulations to Maggie Zentner who placed second for the City of Cockburn Volunteer of the Year. Maggie is the President of the local residents’ group, Yangebup Progress Association (YPA), and the coordinator of the central ward Neighbourhood Watch Association.
Maggie is an active volunteer at the Yangebup Family Centre (YFC), Cooby Cares, The Lions Club, St John of God Murdoch, and helps her fellow residents quarterly by organising a collection of recyclables such as aerosols, printer cartridges and batteries that she delivers to the City of Cockburn council offices.
Maggie is a volunteer chef for the Cultural Cooking program which runs monthly at the Yangebup Family Centre. She contributes her time, love of food, her cultural heritage and her welcoming, bright, and bubbly persona to this wonderful volunteer group. She brings her knowledge and skills from her Italian ethnicity to share with fellow members of Cultural Cooking.
Maggie has volunteered her time to help with the Community Eats program held monthly at the YFC.
In addition, Maggie regularly volunteers to pick up unsold bread from a nearby bakery and delivers it to the YFC on a Monday evening. The bread is then available for those who need it to collect from the Centre the next day.
