The SA Power Networks team were back in the warehouse with us last week 👏

Every bag they packed carries a simple message for the mum who receives it: you are not alone. Soon these bags will be in the hands of midwives across South Australia, ready for mums who need a village around them.

SAPN has been part of our village for years now. Thanks for showing up again, team! 🧡

The number of mums we support has grown by 441% over the past five years.

That growth belongs to our volunteers, donors and partners, who keep showing up for mums they’ll likely never meet.

It also tells us the need is growing. More mums are reaching out every year, and we want to be there for them.
Thank you for growing with us 🧡

We are feeling very grateful for every person who donated and took the time to buy something extra during our Foodland drive.

It might have been one small item in the trolley, but together those items are now back at our warehouse, waiting to be given to a mum who needs the support. We are so touched by your generosity and it’s because of people like you that we can keep supporting mums across South Australia.

Thank you to Direct Collect, Munno Para Foodland, Norwood Foodland, Sefton Foodland, Saints Foodland, Henley Square Foodland, and Adelaide's Finest!

Having the essentials should never be something a mum has to worry about, but too often it is.
The small things that so many of us take for granted can feel out of reach when life gets hard.

Every mum deserves to feel welcome, never like a burden for needing a hand. She deserves to have a community and support around her 🧡

Who doesn't love a Saturday Market Day?!

The Village Co will have a stall at the Wanslea Family Market - Saturday 17th October, and we'd love to see you there! 💛

Bring the whole family along for a beautiful morning together. There'll be market stalls, coffee, a FREE sausage sizzle, and Old MacDonald's Farm animals for the little ones to meet and cuddle. 🐑🐐🐥

The sweet children of Wanslea Nursery School have also been busy putting together a very special cookbook of their family recipes, made with so much love. 📖👩‍🍳 All funds raised will go towards a donation to support the work we do for mums and families. We're truly touched by their kindness, and we'd love for you to grab a copy (or two!) to take home. 💕

Over the years the incredible Bower Education crew have given so much to The Village Co and the families we help, and it would mean the world to see a really packed turnout to celebrate all of their efforts. Let's show them some love! 🥰

📅 Saturday 17th October 2026
⏰ 9:30am to 12:30pm
📍 Wanslea Childcare Centre, 51 Cross Road, Kingswood (access via Rugby Street)

Come for the farm animals, stay for the sausage sizzle, and leave knowing you've helped support local families. We can't wait to see you there! 🤗

Doing your weekend shop at Foodland?

Here’s the easiest way to help: pop one extra item in the trolley from our list, and drop it in the big blue bin at any of our seven Foodland partners on your way out.

It takes a minute. For her, it means everything.
Full list and other ways to give in our bio.

Here's how you can help 🛒

We’re at seven participating Foodland stores for the next two weeks, collecting six brand new essentials:
1. Roll on deodorant
2. Newborn nappies
3. Baby wipes
4. Maternity or super pads
5. Baby soap or body wash
6. Toothpaste

Buy one extra next time you're in, pop it in the big blue bin at the front of the store, and it goes straight to a mum bringing her baby home.

Some mums bring their baby home to a full nursery. Others bring theirs home to nothing.

For the next two weeks, we’ve teamed up with seven participating Foodland stores and Direct Collect for something simple that makes all the difference.

Buy one extra item from our list and pop it in the big blue bin at the front of the store.
That’s it. One extra item from you becomes a full bag for a mum who has no one else to turn to.

Roll on deodorant / Newborn Nappies / Baby Wipes / Baby Soap or wash / Maternity or super pads / Toothpaste

Feedback like this is what gets us through a gloomy Monday. It’s exactly why we keep showing up, so we can continue helping mums like her 🧡

8 years. Thousands of women. But a lot more work to do and help needed.
