Families we support in the Penrith area are in desperate need. We need volunteers to assist our staff with local food donations that occur 4 days a week.
Our Penrith Centre has seen a huge increase in families needing support in the last 6 months. We are providing the following to offer our assistance.
• 40+ food packs per week for vulnerable families (average 463 people p/month)
• 30 activity packs per week (included games, crafts, stationary etc) for children
• 30+ hygiene packs per week to young people and families at risk
• provided ad hoc clothing and household items for families
We now have staff collecting donations 4 days a week from ALDI (Cranebrook) and Coles (Penrith).
We are in desperate need of some reliable volunteers that can assist with these supermarket collections and delivery back to our nearby Centre.
ALDI collection - Mon, Tues, Wed at 9am.
SecondBite Coles collection - Mon, Tues, Wed and Thurs at 10.30am.
Volunteers will need to have a WWCC, police check and driving license. We will provide a car for transporting collected goods.
Please do get in touch if you are interested in helping out on a regular basis. We look forward to hearing from you.
