Pete's Place $2000
The donation is appreciated by the drop in centre which is supported by St Vincent de Paul.
There are a lot of people locally sleeping rough, at the creek or where ever they can find a safer type of spot for the night.
Some have accommodation but not enough money to support their families.
They provide blankets, food, butane cookers, mozzie coils etc to help assist the homeless in our district.
Pete’s Place are donated 500 frozen meals per week.
Our donation has been used for a new freezer which will assist in the ongoing provision of these services.
Ancillary services can be provided through Pete’s Place, such as GP’s, optometrists, etc.
Life is challenging at the bestof times, and our donation will support the centre with food locally.
