The Magpie Nest Cafe offers meaningful corporate volunteering opportunities to support some of Melbourne's most vulnerable community members.
Volunteers can take part in many essential, hands-on roles within the cafe.
This could be simply chatting with clients, taking meal orders, sorting through clothing donations, serving meals and general cleaning duties.
All it takes is a smile and you could make someone's day.
The cafe’s primary purpose is about building relationships.
The unique experience can also provide you and your team a chance to build camaraderie with each other while making a real, tangible difference in the lives of those in need.
