DV support
Domestic and Family Violence Prevention month
May is Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month, and we'd love to bless 100 single-parent families with a special hamper/pamper pack - just a little something to let you know you're seen, valued, and loved.
Pick-up details:
📅 Tuesday, 6 May | 10:30am to 11:15am
📅 Saturday, 10 May | 8:15am to 8:45am
📍 Camira Springfield Community Centre, 389 Old Logan Rd, Springfield
While you’re picking up your hamper/pamper, feel free to make the most of our free food giveaway.
✨ On Tuesday, enjoy a tasty treat - burgers from Orion Grill’d
✨ On Saturday, we’ll have Grill’d vouchers to give away!
We’d love to help everyone, but priority will go to families living in Greater Springfield and surrounding suburbs like Gailes, Camira, Bellbird Park, Redbank Plains, Ellen Grove, and Goodna. That said, please don’t hesitate to apply - we may still be able to bless you, and you're absolutely welcome to enjoy the free food giveaway and be part of our extra random draw hampers on the day.
