It’s been another challenging year and many in our community are doing it tough. Our Kindness Cupboard is a positive service we’re really proud to offer for our community, however the demand for food support is particularly high at the moment. As our cupboard is being used more and more we welcome non-perishable donations and truly appreciate your support. 

Thank you to everyone who has donated, your act of kindness can make someone’s day and have a big impact for those who are struggling.

Please remember that the cupboard is here at The Place for the whole community and that includes YOU. We thank you for your donations but if you need a helping hand, please use our cupboard and take what you need. 

If you’re able to make a donation the items below are the most useful:

* Long life milk
* Tea & Coffee
* Cereal
* Microwave rice & pasta
* 2 minute noodles (in a cup preferrable)
* Canned meals, meats and soups (ring pull cans please - i.e. tuna, baked beans, spaghetti)

This Neighbourhood Centre Week, we pay homage to the remarkable strength that emerges when diverse individuals come together for a shared purpose. Helen Keller's timeless words, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much," resonate deeply as we reflect on the power of unity and community. In communities across Australia, Neighbourhood and Community Houses and Centres (NCHCs) stand as the beating heart of local neighbourhoods. At these centres like ours, we strive to embody the essence of togetherness, bringing people from all walks of life together to connect, learn, and play. Through collaborative initiatives, inclusive programs, and shared spaces, we cultivate an environment where every voice is heard, every story is valued, and every member contributes to the vibrant mosaic of our shared community. To celebrate the value of our local community, join us for a warm cuppa and lively conversations at The Place on 14th May, from 10 am – 12 pm. Whether you're a longtime resident or new to the area, there's a place for you here! Discover the variety of programs and activities at The Place tailored to enrich every aspect of your life, from health and wellness initiatives to educational workshops and social gatherings. Come and experience The Place where people meet, connect, belong, and grow. Neighbourhood Centre Week is a time to celebrate the bonds that unite us and the spaces that nurture them. So, come on over, grab a cuppa, and let's build a stronger, more connected community together! Free light morning tea will be provided. To book your spot, please call us on 02 4032 5500, or email us at programsassistant@theplacecharlestown.org.au
