This could be a SIA project. Set a goal of contributing to a charity, or learning more about how our community helps each other. help mum or dad clean out unused stuff at home, or set up a collection drive at school or your neighbours! https://www.facebook.com/share/1TqD84obAQ/

WE URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP.
Right now, our shelves, tubs and storage areas are running critically low. In some categories, they're almost empty.

We're urgently seeking donations of quality preloved and new children's items, with a particular need for winter clothing for children aged 6+, cot and bassinette linen, and new toiletries.

Every day, health and welfare professionals refer children to Big Group Hug who need clothing, shoes, books, baby equipment, toiletries, bedding, and other everyday essentials. But right now, we're struggling to keep up with demand.

If you've been meaning to clear out the cupboard or pass on items your children have outgrown, now is the time.

Please note: We do not need portacots or baby baths at the moment.

Even if you don't have items to donate, you can still help. We're asking if you can:
• Share this post to your stories
• Send it to your WhatsApp groups
• Tag a friend who may be able to help
• Like and comment to help more people see it
The more people who see this, the more children we can support.

mmmm, burgers!! We'd appreciate your vote if you happen to be at Grill'd in Eltham :)

1st Eltham Scout Group is one of the community groups in the Grill'd Eltham "Local Matters" this month!

Every month, each restaurant splits $500 between three groups doing amazing work in the community —and that’s where YOUR vote counts.

Order at Grill’d in-restaurant or online and you’ll get a token to vote for the cause closest to your heart.

🍔 1 burger = 1 vote. Order your burger in-restaurant or online to get your token.
🍔 Vote for the community group you care about most
🍔 The jar with the most tokens gets $300, and the other two each get $100.

This National Volunteer Week, we celebrate the 4,500+ volunteers across Victoria who make Scouting possible.

Thanks to you, Scouting is growing - with more youth joining, more communities engaged, and more Leaders stepping up than ever before.

It’s good for you. It’s good for them.
