When everything feels lost, this community delivers. β€οΈ
Kelly visited the Community Care Centre in Ballarat, where local Rotary groups have come together to create one central warehouse for donated goods to be sorted and shared with local people doing it tough.
The centre supports people experiencing homelessness, vulnerability or the sudden loss of a household, making sure practical items can get to the people who need them most.
Warren Payne from Community Care Centre says the work is about helping people rebuild with dignity, one donated item at a time.
Community Bank Buninyong is so glad we got behind this initiative as it's very much changing lives. In this instance, care looks like a bed, a fridge, a blanket or a fresh start.
βοΈ Speaking of which, they are desperate for washing machines, fridges, double and queen mattresses (not stained) at the moment. You can arrange donation collection via the website www.communitycarecentreballarat.org.au
People interested in the very rewarding job of volunteering call Shona on 0491 271 129, she'd love to hear from you. π
