Anti-Poverty Week at Parramatta Salvos On Monday Moneycare and Parramatta Salvos collaborated for an Anti-Poverty Week event. 100 plus people attended and heard presentations from a large variety of services, including but not limited to: Services Australia, Transurban Linkt, Legal Aid, Carroll & O’Dea Lawyers, Doorways, Origin Energy, EPlus Local, Eva Burrows College, AGL, NSW Births,Deaths and Marriages and Sydney Water. Community members were then able to visit an expo where these services were giving immediate advice and help.
Attendees were entertained by some Sri Lankan dancing and a non for profit organization ‘Kids Giving Back’ provided free lunch for everyone. There were 10 lucky door prize hampers given away; hampers were filled with items donated by the corps.
We are grateful that we co-locate and partner with Moneycare who do amazing work in supporting community members through their challenging times.
