Ararat mayor Jo Armstrong said there are a great number of residents across the municipality who volunteer their time to make an impact on the community.
"Volunteering is truly a selfless act that brings many rewards to both the volunteer and the wider community," she said.
"Volunteers truly form the backbone of our community; they help provide much-needed services right across our municipality and are crucial to the success of a wide array of community projects. This includes everyone from our emergency services volunteers in the CFA and SES and those that support our local sporting clubs.
