Thank you Cameron Park SDA Fellowship

Kindness in our Community

Here at The Place we have a Kindness Cupboard that works on the premise of ‘take what you need and leave what you can'.


It relies on the generosity of the community to support those who may need a little assistance. Last month, we welcomed a huge display of kindness shown by people in our community, receiving a big donation of non-perishable items from Cameron Park SDA Fellowship. We are very grateful for these wonderful donations, they provide a helping hand for those in our community who need it. Thank you to Cameron Park SDA Fellowship and everyone who has donated to our Kindness Cupboard, your generosity is truly appreciated.


For those who would like to donate and support those in need we welcome non-perishable items such as long life milk, microwave rice and pasta, ring pull cans of soups, meals and meats, tea, coffee and cereal as well as hygiene items like shampoo, body wash and toiletries. You can pop them in the cupboard, in the donations box next to the cupboard or speak to our friendly staff.

Our Kindness Cupboard is open and accessible for all, have a look when you're next at The Place.
