Otway TentCare

Colac Salvos has partnered with the Colac Region Community and Blue Sky Colac to create Otway TentCare, which is a holistic intiative to collect, mend and distribute tents to those that need them most. 

Like a lot of the intiatives or programs hosted by Colac Salvos, it was the brain child of a Community Member and is primarily ran alongside the Community, and the main idea is collect tents that are bound for the tip or just collecting dust and then checking them out to see if they are in working order or are worth mending. And thanks to the support of Blue Sky Colac it is all possible, as they are donating a number of new tents as well as a large number of poles to help mend these tents, and their generosity hasn't stopped there as they are coming to our Community Centre to teach our Volunteers and the Community how to mend tents so the tents can then be distributed. 

Otway TentCare ticks off so many boxes for holistic support for the Colac Region, saving tents from the tip, providing shelter to those that need it and getting the Community involved in helping anyone in need. And this kind of Community centred support is the best way to ensure amazing iniatives like this last the test of time as it is owned by the Community it supports, our hope at Colac Salvos is to be a vessel for lots of great Community works like this.
