❤️ A Friendly Update from Our Family Store

Hi everyone,

Just a quick heads-up that our Gorge Road Family Store will be closed for approximately 5 to 6 weeks. We'll keep you updated along the way and let you know as soon as we have a reopening date to share.

In the meantime, we'd love for you to continue bringing your donations to our Remarkables Park Family Store.

🛋️ Please note: Furniture donations cannot be dropped off at this time. If you have furniture you'd like to donate, please give us a call and we'll arrange a collection.

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and ongoing support. Your generosity helps us make a real difference in our community, and we truly appreciate it. ❤️

Every day, people walk through our doors needing help. It takes an army to be there when they do.

When you give to our Red Shield Appeal, you become part of that army of dedicated supporters, volunteers and staff standing together to restore hope in our communities.

Families are under immense pressure. The cost of living crisis is pushing many to the brink.

Your gift helps make vital wraparound support possible, from food support and transitional housing to financial mentoring and counselling.

It really does take an army. Every day.
