Community Garden Open Day - Postponed!Here we are again in lockdown. We send our thoughts and good will out to all of you & hope everyone is getting some nice Merri Creek walks in and cooking feasts!
We were sad to postpone our Community Garden Launch (again!) this Saturday at Newlands. But we will be back once restrictions are over to invite everyone in to plant and plan the beautifully landscaped space. Next week our planter boxes will go in and next up will be the plant design. In other exciting news, the new NECCHi Program will be launched into the world mid-June! We will be offering a range of fun, all-ages events and programs, plus our fab regular programs. We can't wait to share. Covid Support Fresh, easy food can be a challenge during lockdown. NECCHi supports a range of organisations that provide some pretty awesome free meal options to those that need it: - Food not Bombs is an all-volunteer global movement that shares free vegan meals as a protest to war and poverty.
- FoodAngels Mutual Aid are are a group of queers in Naarm providing food support for other queers in crisis.
- Opposite Newlands House, Northpoint Centre on Tuesday 12pm to 1:30pm is there for you for free fresh food.
- There is always our fab community of Neighbourhood Houses close by at Reynard St and Brunswick who also provide food bank relief and delish homemade meals!
Newlands Senior Citizens Centre across from Newlands House is a COVID testing centre at the moment and next to the Coburg Library is also a COVID vaccination centre (you'll need to book). Circuit Breaker Cookies! In the meantime you can watch our local resident Ida make some cookies as a part of our community cooking program. It's very cute! Our personal preference is for chocolate chips over sprinkles but you be the judge... Thanks to Ida and family for letting us in to their Coburg home.
Take care until we re-open after this hopefully short lockdown period!
