Much like Odysseus on his way home, after our official relaunch a fortnight ago, we went on a diverting journey, so to catch you up on some things that have happened:

1. The Village Voice Brisbane gave us the space to do a nice write up in their latest issue.

2. Donation bins were placed in the electorate offices of Cr Vicki Howard and MLA Grace Grace MP.

3. At their last dinner meeting, many items of food were donated by the Teneriffe Lions Club to the pantry via New Farm Neighbourhood Centre.

4. NFNC started distributing foods!

Donations by the public are very much welcome, you can drop off shelf stable, in date food at Cr Howard's or MP Grace's electorate offices and directly at the NFNC during their respective opening hours, and via getting in touch with the Teneriffe Lions via their email, page, or here. If you can spare a sweet treat (shelf stable remember) it will not be turned away either!
I just need to donate these hashtags here for better discovery:

🔍 Spotting community needs – highlights changes in population, diversity, housing, employment, and health.
💡 Strengthening funding bids – Accurate stats help us secure vital grants and resources.
🎯 Improving services – Insights help to deliver the right programs, in the right places.
🚀 Planning for tomorrow – Knowing how our community is changing helps us prepare for the future.
🤝 Build stronger communities – Better data means better decisions for everyone.
