Can you believe that we are heading into Christmas and have started planning (actually planning started a few months ago!)

This year we are partenering with The Salvation Army, ADRA, Cardinia Shire Council and Cardinia Foundation to provide over 600 Christmas Hampers to Community Members who need a little extra help this Christmas and we need your help!

This Christmas can you "BE A STAR" and help shine the light into our community?

There are lots of ways you can help us get ready!

1. If you have a business and are able to do a collection of non perishable food for us get in touch and we would love to chat further!

2. You can add a few extra non perishable items to your shop each week and drop to 30 Tivendale Rd Officer 3809 before the 6th December.

3. If you are interested in sponsoring the Christmas Together Hampers - you can email [email protected] and we would love to discuss this further with you.

We are very excited to only be 6 weeks away from this incredible time of year and look forward to shining a light into the community this year!

We were honoured to recently speak at Inner Wheel and share about the work of Follow Bless Collective. It was a wonderful opportunity to talk about the challenges facing women and children in our community and the practical ways we can all make a difference.

We were able to share about DV Safe Phones whom we are a partner of, which provides refurbished mobile phones to people leaving domestic and family violence situations. Access to a safe and reliable phone can be a lifeline, helping individuals stay connected to support services, family, employment opportunities, and emergency assistance as they rebuild their lives.

We were also excited to hear that Inner Wheel is currently collecting mobile phones to support the DV Safe Phones program, helping ensure more women leaving violence have access to this vital resource when they need it most.

We are incredibly grateful for Inner Wheel's generous donation, which will help us continue supporting women and children in our community who are doing it tough. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and commitment to creating safer, stronger futures for those who need support most. 💜✨
