House of Welcome Food Drive

Due to high demand and low supplies, we will be starting our House of Welcome Food Drive earlier than usual this year. We are extending our collection until the end of May Please drop your bags of shopping to the NSCC office anytime between 10am and 6pm, Mon to Friday.

Last year the community collected over 1000 bags of household shopping for refugees supported by House of Welcome. This year we are asking for your help again as we try and match last year’s incredible collection. Held throughout the entire month of April, simply bring your bag of shopping to the Centre and we will arrange for it to get to the House of Welcome.
