Project Summary
We are visited by many families each week, and we provide them with eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, eggs, milk, and other supplies. We provide grocery vouchers — depending on our budget.
Emergency relief is a growing concern – as families battle with cost of living pressures. Many present their utility bills they are unable to manage.
We provided toys over Christmas, and providing donations received, these things as handed to families.
Project Outcomes
Research that comes to our rooms, provided data regarding the impact poverty has on young children. We have been providing school stationary, uniforms, and camp costs. Staff and volunteers spend time with families, and identify what is needed and how we can help.
