Community creating Community

Below are the amazing organisations that support the work we do to assist all in the Colac Region. Without these generous teams, we wouldn't be able to do what we do, and a number of these organisations have been integral parts of inspiring new ways we can assist all in the Colac Region. 

If you are a Community Member or Representative of an Organisation and you wish to support the work we do to assist the Colac Region, please get in contact below. 

Aldi Colac

Twice a week our van is filled to burst by Aldi Colac who actively work to ensure precious food and goods aren't wasted but given a second chance to help households across the Region financially. 

From dozens of watermelons for a summery treat to large swathes of meat to keep us full for longer, what a blessing these donations are. 

Thank you Aldi Colac for your support of the Colac Region and of Colac Salvos. 

MIXX FM

The Team at MIXX FM have supported, energize and broadcasted the message Colac Salvos is bringing to the Colac Region. 

Without the support and passion they bring, so much of the Region wouldn't get to hear what we do and how they can be supported through our services. 

Thank you MIXX FM for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region.

Petstock Colac

Supporting all in the Colac Region to keep their pets healthy, Petstock Colac has a deep history in regional Victoria after its beginnings in Ballarat and then spreading throughout Australia and beyond. 

Petstock Colac have come onboard with Colac Salvos to support all animal lovers throughout the Colac Region and it is their heart beat to help anyone and everyone to best look after their pet best freinds.

Without their support and passion for animals, we wouldn't be able to feed the many hungry pets that are a part of families going through a rough patch. 

Thank you Petstock Colac for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region.

Colac Herald

Working to keep all informed, the Colac Herald has been a main stay of the Colac Region and has been incredibly generous over the years to Colac Salvos. 

Getting the word out to the many people that pick up their paper on a regular basis of what is going on at Colac Salvos, helps to reduce the barrier that can sometimes be in place to feel comfortable coming to the Salvos, to get the assistance all of us need at some stage when life takes a turn. 

Thank you Colac Herald for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region. 

Pammy's Pizza

Everyone in the Colac Region knows Pammy, and everyone will say the same things. Pammy has cracked the code to make amazing pizza's at a great price and always with a smile. 

Pammy doesn't just run an amazing local business but she is incredibly generous, always open to support those that are needing a great feed when the hip pocket isn't on their side. Through Colac Salvos, Pammy has been able to keep the bellies full of those going through some of the most vulnerable times of life. 

Thank you Pammy and Pammy's Pizza for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region.  

Geelong Food Relief

Every Friday, one of the amazing volunteers from Geelong Food Relief will park and help unload a van full of holistic and generously donated goods for us to distribute to the Community through our Market Day program. 

Simply put, without their consistent and generous work, close to 1.5 tonne of food wouldn't be available to the Colac Region and every week all of that food is distributed or utilised by Colac Salvos to feed the Colac Region. 

What a relief it is knowing there is an organisation out their like Geelong Food Relief. 

Thank you Geelong Food Relief for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region. 

Colac Secondary College

Aim. Aspire. Achieve.

The Teachers, Leaders and Students of Colac Secondary College are displaying those values held so highly and visibly, and they are displaying them through some incredible Community work in the Colac Region. 

Cooking, chatting, painting, sorting, playing are just some of the ways the Teachers, Leaders and Students of the Colac Secondary College have brought joy and enrichment to the Community through Colac Salvos. Intiatives like the Otway Wardrobe and The Drop-in have been instrumentally led or informed by those of CSC. 

They haven't just been a blessing to the Community or those that are serving but to the Team at Colac Salvos, bringing hope of a joy filled and inspired tomorrow. 

Thank you Colac Secondary College for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region. 

Foodbank

Foodbank needs no introduction for the indispensable support they offer millions throughout Australia and Colac is no different. Every week we are able to order large quantities of items that all those in the Colac Region need, and can utilise to bring down the Costs of Living. 

What an indescribable blessing they are to us at Colac Salvos and for those Colac Salvos serves in the Colac Region. 

Thank you Foodbank for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region. 

Otway Pasta Company

Holistically local. 

Two words that encapsulate Otway Pasta Company's approach to business and their heart to support some of the great work happening at Colac Salvos, through donating large amounts of product to feed any and all in the Colac Region. 

But they don't stop there, Steve and the Otway Pasta Company Team have come on board and volunteer their time to do a cook up every Friday at the Community Centre. What a blessing it is to have such an amazing business in the Colac Region. 

Thank you Otway Pasta Company for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region. 

Irrewarra Sourdough

Everyday that our Community Centre is open, the amazing team at Irrewarra Soutdough have some from bread dropped off to be enjoyed by all!

Irrewarra Sourdough's products are an incredible treat whether they are enjoyed through one of our meals or taken home, the quality that their bread boasts is unbelieveable and we feel so blessed that we are able to share it with the Colac Region. 

Thank you Irrewarra Sourdough for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region. 

Rotary Club of Colac West

The Rotary Club of Colac West has given invaluable support to Colac Salvos through volunteering and supporting our initiatives financially over the years. 

Without their support, a number of ways that Colac Salvos has been able to support the Colac Region wouldn't be possible. 

Thank you Rotary Club of Colac West for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region. 

Meriba Service Club of Colac

The Meriba Women's Club are a unique club to the Colac Region and it has been a blessing to work alongside them to bring a brighter tomorrow for the Colac Region. 

Meriba were a vital part in setting up Colac Salvos Salon, through helping purchase salon chairs, trolleys and a mobile mirror system so that the Colac Salvos Team can offer free hair cuts for all in the Colac Region. 

Thank you Meriba for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region.  

Rotary Club of Colac

The Rotary Club of Colac was a big part of helping fit out the Community Centre, they were able to purchase the first Washing Machines and Dryers for the Laundry that offers free laundry services for all in the Colac Region. 

These machines get a real work out and we think of the amazing generousity of the Rotary Club of Colac everytime they are used. 

Thank you Rotary Club of Colac for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region. 

Coles Colac

Coles Colac have been a supporter of the work that Colac Salvos has been doing, for many years. 

Every week Coles Colac assists the Colac Region by supplying goods to be distributed through our Community Centre. 

Thank you Coles Colac for your support of Colac Salvos and the Colac Region. 

Jo's Pantry

There wouldn't be a soul in the Colac Region that doesn't know Jo's Pantry and the incredible coffee and foods they have on offer, but their holistic offerings are dwarfed by their service and kindness carried by the whole Team of Jo's Pantry. This is exemplified by Jo DeLorenzo, the owner of Jo's Pantry, who has lead their generousity to Colac Salvos over many years. 

Jo has donated foods, products and packaging supplies which help keep the costs of Colac Salvos low to ensure we can spend the generous donations we steward where its needed most. 

Thank you Jo's Pantry for your support of the Colac Region and of Colac Salvos. 

Vinnies Colac

Working together for a brighter future in the Colac Region, this is the shared goal of Colac Salvos and Colac Vinnies. Colac can be much better supported if those that support Colac work together effectively and we aim to embody that, we have done this most recently with collaborations in our Otway Wardrobe and Otway TentCare initiatives which has allowed for more donation points for the Community and more distribution points too. 

We have been able to collect vastly more donations and to be able to engage more of the community through the passionate people that support our organisations. 

We hope to see this relationship flourish long into the future to ensure a brighter tomorrow for the Colac Region. 

Thank you Vinnies Colac for your help and friendship. 

Genua Brothers

Constantly looking to find ways to support and fund great works throughout the Colac Region, the Genua Brothers have helped fund and support some of our Christmas Appeals, helping create hampers for many families to have a merrier Christmas. 

We look forward to seeing how your generousity can keep on shaping the future of the Colac Region. 

Thank you Genua Brothers for supporting the Colac Region and Colac Salvos. 

Woolworths Colac

Your local Woolies has been an incredible support of the work Colac Salvos does throughout the Region, by providing Bread and bakery goods every week without fail.
