Westcare Centre Winter Appeal - May and June 2017
Helping the Homeless – Making a Difference
Winter is here, and for some of us winter involves hot comfort food in our bellies, cosy beds and warm houses to go home to. But, the harsh reality of winter to some in our city is so different to that, with not enough money for food, warm clothes or even a place to call home.
At Chiropractic Solutions we are asking you to help make a difference by partnering with us to support Adelaide’s homeless and disadvantaged through our…
Westcare Centre Winter Appeal.
As you may be aware, the contents of our Missed Appointment Charity Hamper are donated each month to the
* Westcare Centre to help feed the homeless.
During the months of May and June, we would like give all of our clients the opportunity to be involved, by contributing a donation of food and essentials, and/ or blankets when you attend for your appointment during the month.
Simply bring your donation with you to your next appointment and we will deliver them to Westcare who will distribute food and care parcels to those individuals and families in need.
We are very excited at the thought of making a difference to those in need this winter, with this simple concept of involving you all. We hope you are too!
Simply by adding a few extra things to your grocery trolley this month, and donating them at your next appointment, you too can be part of our Winter Appeal.
* The WestCare Centre - Situated in Millers Court, Adelaide (off Wright Street) like the Hutt Street Centre, offers people a place of hope and a sanctuary from the cold, harsh reality of life on the streets. More than a thousand people walk through its doors every month for services ranging from homelessness, housing assistance and legal counsel to health support, free meals as well as drug and alcohol counselling.
The WestCare Centre has a lounge area where people can have a cuppa and watch TV, plus there are shower, toilet and laundry facilities. A nutritious three course lunch is provided at minimal cost six days a week.
