Since early November, the choir has entertained the residents at nursing homes including Jonathon Rogers, Jean Ross, Opal and Osborne House.
They have also performed at Jelly Bean Park and for several Club Christmas parties.
They were the feature choir at the Greenwell Point Union Church's recent Christmas service.
The choir will be performing at the Bomaderry Uniting Carols on Saturday, December 14 and again at the Harry Sawkins Carols in the Park on Sunday, December 15.
The Bomaderry Uniting Carols at twilight will be held at the church on the corner of Bunberra and Karawa Streets on Saturday, December 14 from 5pm and includes a free sausage sizzle, kids activities and carols.
Everyone is welcome. Contact 4423 5571 for more information.
Sue Hammond-Warne, director of the Shoalhaven Community Choir said the group is looking forward to this year's carols, after last year's ended unexpectedly.
"The choir is looking forward to performing at the Nowra Carols in Harry Sawkins Park on Sunday. We were to perform last year but lost the opportunity when a giant thunderstorm ended the carols early," she said.
"The carols services wrap up a really busy year for us as a choir. Part of our mantra for the choir is fundraising and through our Gala dinner in September and other activities during the year we have raised over $7000 for the Shoalhaven hospital and charities in the local area."
Next year is proving to be another big year for the choir with a Shoalhaven Goes Gold event in September which will focus on raising money for the Shoalhaven Cancer Centre.
The Shoalhaven Community Choir is a non-auditioned choir and meets Friday mornings during school terms at the Bomaderry Uniting Church and new members are always welcome.
