25.01.2022 A big thanks to Bedhead Hats for their generous donation of beautiful heritage hats. These hats are not only a wonderful addition to our clothing packs, but also being UPF50+ will offer fantastic sun protection for lots of little heads! Such generosity from an amazing 100% Australian owned company! . #sunshinebendigo #bendigocharity #bedheadhats #heritagehats #supportinglocalfamilies #bendigo

This will be clearly marked so no contact is necessary & is strictly for new items only! 18 Vains St,Golden Square between 10 & 3 .... #sunshinebendigo #bendigocharity #localssupportinglocals #supportinglocalfamilies #bendigo See more

23.01.2022 Last week we had a day where we offered tins of baby formula free to families that could benefit from it, without a formal referral to our service. Today we found this lovely note in our mailbox. This is the impact your donations make in our community! . #sunshinebendigo #bendigocharity #localssupportinglocals #bendigo #supportinglocalfamilies

19.01.2022 We are so grateful to be the chosen charity to receive $500 from Champions IGA Long Gully Community Chest. This is an ongoing program that raises funds for local community groups & charities. In such a tough year for fundraising, donations like this mean so much & allow us to keep supporting local families in need. Our Director Glenda was on site to receive the cheque from Adrian representing IGA. Thank you so much! .... #championsiga #communitychest #sunshinebendigo #bendigocharity #supportinglocalfamilies #localssupportinglocals #bendigo See more

17.01.2022 We need your help! The call for our service is increasing & our current volunteers are stretched keeping up with the demand. We need volunteers that can give a few hours a week to join our clothing / linen sorting & bundling team or our workshop team to repair, clean & safety check items. Male, female, young or full of life experience....we could use your skills! Call in and check us out or give us a call - we would welcome you to our team.... Open Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday from 10-3 at 18 Vains Street, Golden Square . #sunshinebendigo #bendigocharity #supportinglocalfamilies #lookingtovolunteer #localssupportinglocals #bendigo See more

16.01.2022 A very important day - especially in 2020. The last few months have been like a roller coaster & everyone is struggling at times. Pick up the phone & make contact with family members or friends, especially if they live alone.

16.01.2022 With the easing of restrictions we are super excited to advise that we will be open again from next Tuesday! The items listed are our most urgent needs to assist low stock levels, if you can help. Clothing & linen that is freshly laundered & sorted into sizes is an amazing way to support our hardworking volunteer team & much appreciated! . #sunshinebendigo #bendigocharity #localssupportinglocals #supportinglocalfamilies #bendigo

16.01.2022 It has been fantastic lately to welcome new volunteers to our team - Anna & Leanne are just two of them. It hasn’t taken them long to become valuable members of the team & are quickly learning the skills required in the workshop! Many hands ensure the donated goods are safety checked & cleaned quickly, prior to being rehomed and assisting many local families! . #sunshinebendigo #localssupportinglocals #supportinglocalfamilies #bendigocharity #volunteering #bendigo

15.01.2022 As today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we wanted to share this post & plaque that is at Lake Weeroona and the reasoning behind it. This is such an important issue to raise awareness of and to help stop this violence! #sunshinebendigo #supportinglocalfamilies #orangetheworld #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #bendigo

14.01.2022 Liz from @bendigocommunityhealth at Kangaroo Flat was smiling behind her mask when she picked up a car load of goods for a local family they are supporting. A cot, linen and clothing will greatly assist this family with their new little arrival. Your donations make such a difference in our community! . #sunshinebendigo #bendigocharity #localssupportinglocals #supportinglocalfamilies #bendigo #bendigocommunityhealthservices

14.01.2022 A local group of wonderful ladies sew for us on a regular basis. Their latest delivery was not only their beautifully made quilts & blankets, but as they had selected us as their chosen charity for money raised from sewing masks, it included 100 pairs of new socks! We love our supporters! . #bendigocharity #localssupportinglocals #sunshinebendigo #supportinglocalfamilies #communitysupport #bendigo

11.01.2022 Purchasing our van and being able to assist more families in crisis has been a great asset, but it does come with a cost. So we were thrilled when Judy N Warrick Thompson local supporters of ours, won a Caltex Australia competition & nominated us as their chosen charity. This meant we were awarded the same prize by Caltex Australia & what an amazing prize it is! A generous gesture like this makes such a huge impact to a charity like ours. That you so much! . #sunshinebendigo #bendigocharity #caltexaustralia #localssupportinglocals #supportinglocalfamilies #bendigo

10.01.2022 We have many special men that support, donate, raise money, volunteer for us and are always ready to step up when we need a hand. We are so grateful for all they do & today we want to acknowledge them & wish them a very happy Fathers Day. . #sunshinebendigo #bendigo #bendigocharity #localssupportinglocals #volunteeringdads #supportinglocalfamilies

09.01.2022 We have been generously given baby formula by local food banks to distribute. We want to ensure it reaches as many families as possible during these tough economic times. So, on Tuesday, all tins will be placed at the front of our building (for no contact pick up) & can be taken by families that use formula. No referrals are necessary & all are new, sealed & within a good use by date. No orders or holds. Please only take what you can use, so as many families as possible in ou...r community benefit. 18 Vains St Golden Square from 10 - 3. Please share / tag anyone that could make use of this one day offer . #sunshinebendigo #bendigocharity #localssupportinglocals #localfamilies #bendigo See more

08.01.2022 Margaret from Kreative Kreations dropped in today with a donation of 2 dozen of the most beautiful cot quilts, cuddly new teddies & assorted embroidered towels. Margaret usually sells her gorgeous handmade goods at a local market, but due to recent closures she wanted to still make use of her time & we were the lucky beneficiary! From butterflies to dragons we can now cater for all tastes! Thanks a lot Margaret .... #sunshinebendigo #bendigocharity #localssupportinglocals #supportinglocalfamilies #donatetoday #bendigo See more
