Whittlesea Emergency Relief Network Mid-Year Drive
Each year, the Whittlesea Emergency Relief Network runs a mid year drive to assist families in need. We assist thousands of local families with community lunches, breakfast programs, food hampers, financial assistance, housing support, case management, food and petrol vouchers and material aid assistance. The winter period is a difficult time for many families and often agencies are stretched with their resources and cannot meet the level of need in the community.
You can help by donating non-perishable food items, toiletries and nappies. These donations will be distributed among local Emergency Relief providers to better resource our services. Donations can be received from the 18th July until the 15th August 2017.
Please see our flyer for information on items to donate and drop off locations. Any further enquiries please contact ER Coordinator Katie O’Brien on 9401 6666 or email at kobrien@whittleseacc.org.au
