Winter has arrived ❄️ Can you support the Foothills Community Care - Community Meals Socks & Underwear Winter Appeal?

On this first day of winter, we are excited to launch our annual Foothills Socks & Underwear Winter Appeal
Each year, we are able to distribute brand new socks and underwear to locals in need of an extra hand up. For so many, these items are a luxury they simply cannot afford, not like most of us, something we don't even think about.
We invite you to donate to our appeal to make a real difference in others' lives this winter.
If you or your business, school, organization would also like to host a Giving Box, then please get in touch with us.
If you have a corporate contact with socks or underwear, we would love to hear from you as well.
From now until the end of June, donations of men's, women's or children's goods can be dropped off at these locations or contact us directly:
Foothills Community Hub - rear 62-64 Main St Upwey
Foothills Community Op-Shop, Tecoma - 89 Sandells Rd Tecoma
Watch this space for new locations being added regualrly.
Thanks for your great support

At Community Bank Upwey & District and Emerald & District, we’re excited to share something special… our 2026 Staff Grant Program!

Each of our staff members was given the opportunity to choose and surprise a local community group they’re passionate about supporting. Because our team works with the community every day, they see firsthand the incredible work being done and were absolutely thrilled to support a local group with a surprise $1,500 donation. 💛

We’re excited to share these moments with you over the coming weeks.

1️⃣5️⃣ Our fifteenth (and final) presentation was made by Cheryl Gaston, on behalf of Susan Trsidder our Home Lending Specialist who was unable to attend the presentation. Susan chose to support the Belgrave and Surrounds Toy Library

Susan chose this group as Susan believes that toy libraries are a great way to recycle toys, benefiting the environment while also fostering community engagement. In addition, the group was in the process of relocating to new premises, which brought with it increased overheads and additional costs.

Their new premises is at the Sherbrooke Family and Children’s Centre in Upwey
