Jarrod Davies - key volunteer partner
"The Green Collar Brigade have done an amazing job over the past few weeks at Footscray Church of Christ. Not only have they cleared vegetation, rubbish, weeds etc., they have always left the place tidy and clean - and looking much better than before! Each week Paul, Stu and the team arrive on time and get straight to work. All the volunteers have been friendly, respectful and taken great pride in what they are doing. I couldn't recommend them highly enough already! " Pastor Footscray Church of Christ
