💚 Something pretty special happened this week.
While many people were thinking about what they needed, a group of our participants were busy thinking about what someone else might need.
Together, they rolled blankets, packed hygiene items, sorted winter essentials, filled care packs and prepared supplies that will soon make their way to people doing it tough across our community.
What started as a simple conversation has turned into dozens of care packs and an incredible display of kindness, generosity and teamwork.
A huge thank you to:
💙 Tim and the team at PCYC Albury for opening their doors and supporting the project
💚 The team at YES Unlimited, who will help ensure these items reach people who need them most
💚 Anaconda Albury, whose generous support helped us secure essential outdoor and winter items for the care packs
💚 Everyone who has donated items, shared our posts or contributed financially
Most of all, thank you to our participants.
You showed that making a difference doesn’t require a lot of money, special skills or recognition.
Sometimes it just starts with people willing to give up a few hours of their day to help complete strangers.
We’re still collecting cash donations to help us purchase additional sleeping bags, winter bedding and other essential items before distribution.
To keep the project manageable and ensure everything can be used immediately, we’re no longer accepting second-hand clothing or bedding.
The Arm in Arm Kindness Collective was created to bring people together for a good cause.
Looking around these tables, we’d say it’s doing exactly that.
💚 Local people helping local people.
