Kindness Cupboard - Helping Our Community

Special Thank You to Cameron Park Fellowship

The Kindness Cupboard at The Place has been providing much needed community food assistance since the beginning of 2021. This community pantry is made possible through ongoing community support and donations from Oz Harvest.

There are several members of The Place community who contribute to keeping our cupboards stocked but this month, we would like to make special mention of the Cameron Park Fellowship. Thank you to Lynette Moodley and the Cameron Park Fellowship congregation for the amazing donation of fresh blankets, non-perishables, and canned foods.

With the financial hardships being faced by many in our community, and the added difficulties brought on by the colder months, giving what you can for those doing it tough goes a long way.

Our Kindness Cupboard is open and accessible to all – take what you need. If you would like to leave some non-perishable foods or hygiene items for those in need, you can see our staff at reception or call us on 02 4032 5500.
