Collective of St Mary Magdalene (COMSS)
This year 2023, students from the AUDSS have the opportunity to volunteer as part of the front of house team at the St Mary Magdalene church. Volunteering with the COMSS is a chance to provide a welcoming, friendly and accepting environment for people who may not have much cheer or friendly contact in their day-to-day life.
Every Saturday from approximately 5.30 to 8.30 p.m., the front of house volunteer team works alongside the “kitchen team” to run meals to patrons, running dirty plates to the kitchen, playing guitar, supervising the distribution of bread, and cleaning up at the end of the night.
First timers are most welcome, and all volunteers are welcome to share a meal or cup of coffee with the patrons. 1 to 3 AUDSS volunteers will be rostered every Saturday.
