Uniting Aid Donations
All work is carried out through volunteers, but we need help from the community for the supply of much needed food, household items and the occasional cash grant to families unfortunate enough to need it. Your donation will make a difference to someone who is struggling to put food on the table for their family. As we prepare to celebrate Christmas, let us count our many blessings and share some of that with our less fortunate neighbours whose time for celebrating has not yet come.
