Hi all! We hope everyone had a restful Christmas and that so far 2025 has been good to you all.
We’ve had a few donations recently of items that I’ve simply had to throw in the bin..underwear, broken kitchen items and bits and pieces that are obviously not going to be of any use. Can you please refrain from leaving anything other than food/toiletries for a while so we can get the pantry back up and running and help out those in need.
We have a regular donation of bread, which goes into the esky with ice packs, we’ve also got some fresh eggplant and squash. In the smaller cabinet there are some toiletries, some pantry items and a wonderful donation this morning of bags of cookies and various lollies. Yum! These lovely ladies also donated a large bag of frozen meals, mainly LiteNEasy. I’ll be putting these out only a couple at a time in the esky with the ice packs, as they will need to stay frozen. I’ll let you know when I put some out 😁
Now to some housekeeping notes 😉
I’m still having an issue with some people who don’t have any respect with what we’re trying to do here. Books from the book cabinet thrown over the road, food thrown around and the cabinets left in a mess. I have recently had an official complaint about the mess, so if I could just have a little help from you all to keep the area looking reasonably neat, we can keep this venture up and running. There are bins out front that you are welcome to use. As mentioned, please don’t leave anything apart from food in the esky/cabinet for the time being, until I can work out a bigger/neater solution to the area. The book swap cabinet is currently overflowing so feel free to browse through those and take what you like!
Thank you all for your wonderful support throughout last year, let’s hope this year brings much happiness 🌿💚
