Bunnings Supports Locals in Need with Emergency Relief

Bunnings, the Australian hardware store giant, has made a generous donation of 5 x $20 emergency relief vouchers to our homeless hub Fletcher Street Cottage, which will be available to those in need.

This donation is a welcome boost to Fletcher Street Cottage, which provides vital support to the homeless and those experiencing housing insecurity in the Byron Shire and beyond. We offer a range of services, including meals, showers, laundry facilities, and support with finding housing and employment. We also provide a safe space for people to connect with others and receive emotional support.

Already Making a Positive Impact

The donation from Bunnings will enable us to provide additional support to those in need. "Already the vouchers have made a positive impact in the lives of our service users, with a client being able to purchase work equipment for their new full time job," says Maddi Powell, Welcome Worker.

This donation is part of Bunnings' ongoing commitment to supporting the communities in which it operates. Bunnings is known for its philanthropic efforts, which include donating to a range of community groups and charities. The company has a long-standing relationship with the Byron Community Centre, and this donation is just the latest example of their support for this vital community organisation.

The Power of Corporate Philanthropy

The Fletcher Street Cottage team express their gratitude for the donation, stating that it will make a significant difference to the lives of those they support. The homeless hub relies on donations and community support to continue its important work, and this donation from Bunnings will help ensure that we can continue to provide vital services to those in need.

Overall, the donation of emergency relief vouchers from Bunnings to Fletcher Street Cottage is a heartwarming example of the positive impact that corporate philanthropy can have on local communities. By supporting organisations like the Byron Community Centre, Bunnings is helping to make a real difference in the lives of those who are experiencing hardship and adversity.
