Hi Neighbours,

On Sunday, June 3rd, ASCRC are opening their doors for donations between 8am - 1pm.

I'll be driving to Footscray with some food and clothes. 

If you would like to donate, but can't take it to Footscray, please drop food or clothes off at 9 Mehegan ave Coburg North by Saturday night at the latest and I'll take it for you. 

I am not entirely sure how much I'll be able to collect, but if it is a large amount and someone has a van/ute, that would be handy! I can do another post as soon as I know.

They need:

• Pasta
• Rice
• Tinned tomatoes, red kidney beans, lentils, and chickpeas
• Tinned tuna in oil
• Vegetable oil 1ltr
• Cooking salt
• Curry powder, chilli flakes, turmeric, cumin, coriander
• Winter coats in good condition and in all sizes
• Scarves and beannies
• Blankets in good condition 

You can also contact me on 0415 453 840.

Cheers,

Juan.

Donations Appreciated

Donations appreciated.

Hi Newlanders,

I am working with a 16 y.o. young man with profound autism and a range of other disabling factors.  The organisation I’m working with has developed a sensory room for him, but the NDIS has only stretched so far….

So, his wonderful O.T. has suggested we look for the following donations of arty /crafty stuff…

Chalk, paints, beads, fabric, pipe-cleaners, sequins, glue, scented candles (not to be lit), or other scented stuff, relaxation CDs (not speaking or guided mediation stuff, just the tunes), foam shaped items – the sort of thing that if it is thrown at you, it wont hurt!

Also, he may benefit from a hammock to sling up for calming, rhythmic movement. 

If you are spring cleaning and have spare art stuff, please drop it off at 30 Ballard Ave Coburg North. We don’t have much space for storage, so if donations could please stay within the above suggestions, that is, he doesn’t need clothes or household items.

Thanks heaps in advance, Gigi.

The Welcome Group

The Welcome Group is a bunch of kind individuals who provide grass-roots community support to refugees living in our community. More particularly they work with the "bridging the gap" arm which provides material support in the setting up of houses and work out of the Macedon Ranges and do regular transporting of goods to the northern suburbs of Melbourne. If you live in the area and have things to donate please make contact. 
If you are in Melbourne, check the website thewelcomegroup.org, or their FaceBook page and post what you might have to offer. If you live out of town and would like to make a monetary donation (for new towels, sheets, a mattress...the list is endless and everything is needed) please do not hesitate to contact the group and make your offering.
