Taree’s Community Connect Day, which took place on August 9th, 2024 as part of Homelessness Week events. Held at Manning United Church, saw a collaborative effort from Pathfinders Family, Connect and Support (FCS) and various local community services. Together, they provided essential support and assistance to those affected by the current cost of living crisis.

The Family. Connect and Support (FCS) teams from Taree and Kempsey, in partnership with the Out of Home Care (OoHC) team we donated fresh fruit, essentials vouchers, socks, blankets, and over 20 pairs of pajamas to local families in need.

A huge thank you goes out to everyone who participated the event, including Orange Sky, Mission Australia, Great Lakes Women’s Shelter, Samaritans, Ocean Barber, Women’s Domestic Violence Court Advocacy Service, Home in Place, Linked, Wesley, Gambling Helpline, Services NSW, Legal Aid, and the Rotary Club, for their invaluable support of our community.
