Dear Neil
We thank you very much for your generous donation of food preparation equipment to the value of $1159.
These items will be put to immediate use at our mobile Street Mission operating out of the grounds of the Uniting Church in Gilbert St., Manly each Saturday evening from 6.30pm to 9.30pm. At the Caf, we give local homeless and disadvantaged people a hot meal, and some food for each person to take with them for the rest of the weekend.
As our Street Mission indicates, we are a frontline organisation. In this coalface approach to helping the needy, we provide financial support to three other organisations operating in the Warringah, Manly and Pittwater areas and our requirement is that this support only be used for food and other life essentials, and that none of it be used on overheads and administration. The three organisations are
The Burdekin Association Helping the youth of Warringah, Manly, Pittwater
Youth Reach Dee Why Assisting local youth
Streetwork Working with youth on the Northern Beaches and Chatswood
Neil, you commented to us that you are always amazed at the generosity of people who give freely of their time and money to help people in need. Yes, there is a lot of need in the community and it is very apparent in those disadvantaged people who come to us in Street Mission. We do our best to play a small part in helping them. We depend on people like yourself who are prepared to help with resources from their own skills and experience resources which we very much need, but which often we cannot afford to provide.
Sincerely
Tania Atchison
Chairperson, Street Mission Inc
