We recently had a visit from the Billy Turner the President of Clayton Bowls Club. During the year the Bowls Club fundraise to help local organisations who help the less fortunate in the community. We were delighted to get the call that they were wanting to offer support for our Food Pantry. In the photo Mr Turner is presenting a cheque for $2000 to our Chairperson Tony Coyle. The money will go towards stocking the pantry with nourishing food to go into our food parcels which we distribute twice weekly to holders of government health care cards who are struggling to make ends meet. Clients can access the food bank once a fortnight, recently with the Global Economic Crisis our numbers are increasing each week so donations such as the Bowls Club's make the difference to our supplies. All donations to the Dingley Village Community Advice Bureau are tax deductable, you can make a donation via our web page or contact us directly. We also like to hear from local manufacturers like Temptation Pies in Braeside who frequently help us out with supplies of pies and quiches. Its generous benefactors like this that add variety to the stock in our food pantry. If you think you can help out with supplies of food please give our office an phone call and we can discuss delivery arrangements.
