But while International Volunteer Managers Day is created to celebrate people just like her, the volunteer co-ordinator would rather use today to focus on her team.
"It's not about me, " she said.
"My job is all about them — they really are the most delightful, dedicated people."
Before COVID-19, Ms Saccuzzo's team members donated their time and energy to keeping the hospital flowing smoothly, ensuring patients and their families were given top-notch care.
But for the past eight months, these volunteers have been unable to set foot in GV Health due to pandemic safety precautions.
"All volunteers have been temporarily stood down due to COVID-19 and we don't know when we can have them back," Ms Saccuzzo said.
From all different walks of life, these 90 men and women, aged 18 to 89, serve in a range of areas across Shepparton, Tatura and Rushworth, including dialysis, oncology and rehab.
A large number of volunteers have also helped with "way-finding" — leading patients and their families through GV Health's labyrinthine hallways.
"This will be very important when we return, because we will be in the new building," Ms Saccuzzo said.
"Our volunteers are a bit nervous, as none of us have seen it yet."
Ms Saccuzzo said the past few months had been tough on many of her volunteers, as they grappled with isolation.
"Volunteering gives many of them a sense of worth and that they're giving back to the community," she said.
"We've seen the health of some volunteers decline during this COVID period, as they no longer have that outlet.
"For many, it was a social outing. Some people volunteered here three or four times a week."
Ms Saccuzzo has been keeping in touch with her team regularly throughout the pandemic via emails, calls and texts, as well as organising Zoom catch-ups.
But she — along with the rest of GV Health, not to mention the wider community — is counting the days until volunteers can be back at the hospital.
"My job is so rewarding — all the volunteers are so different but so wonderful," Ms Saccuzzo said.
"I know the staff and patients in dialysis, who come in three times a week, are really missing them.
"And reception keeps asking, 'When will the volunteers be returning?'
"We all can't wait to have them back."
