The free clothing sale was best, I now feel like I have a wardrobe of clothes to choose from, I can decide what to wear instead of the same couple of things all the time

You all do an amazing job presenting such a wonderful breakfast. I think the recipients would feel quite special seeing the beautiful food and the warm friendship. Well done.

Please keep sharing as I often get asked where there something I can do and that’s beneficial and gets to the family in need immediately; right here and now.

Guess who got offered a place yesterday due to you guys making some difficult and determined phone calls and running around on my behalf, they even said you will be so excited when I tell you

If it wasn’t for breakfast I may not talk to anyone all week

Recently, I have come across a small local Port Adelaide charity organisation called “Community Help and Togetherness” (CHATS). CHATS is a honourable small scale charity doing their best to feed the homeless. Upon connecting with CHATS and seeing how they operate, it is evident that they do more than feed the homeless, they offer hope, connection and a sense of community to those who need it most; and that is something I simply must be a part of! I aim to support this local charity in the best way I know how; donating warm crocheted scarves and beanies. However with the support of my team, I am confident that we can pull together and contribute so much more with the approval of our committee

It feels like a privilege volunteering with CHATS. The opportunity to work alongside so many who care about the wider community and those most vulnerable.
