MITZVAH DAY – Sunday 18 November 2018
Our association with the AVALON CENTRE continues
1939 Malvern Road, Malvern East – 9569 2240 / http://avaloncentre.org.au/
For the 2nd year we will be supporting the Avalon Centre on Mitzvah Day. Last year six of us went to the centre where we sanded and stained the new outdoor furniture. Debbie Holmes is looking forward to catching up with us again. If you would like to volunteer please phone: Sylvie Jonas: 0413 223 102
We are collecting: MEN’S SUMMER CLOTHING in good condition
How about looking through your wardrobe and pulling out your no longer worn summer clothing? All items will be distributed by the Avalon Centre and go directly to men experiencing homelessness.
Items can be dropped off at Kedem or phone Sylvie Jonas: 0413 223 102 for an alternate drop off location.
SUNGLASSES EITHER NEW or PRE-LOVED & PRESCRIPTION GLASSES
We are continuing to collect prescription glasses & sunglasses for distribution to people living in remote and isolated villages in Papua New Guinea. The glasses are distributed by optometrists and ophthalmologists’ volunteering on YWAM (Youth with a Mission) Medical ships (https://ywamships.org.au/) headed for PNG.
A labelled box is brought out at each of our Services for the collection of glasses.
For more information please phone: Katie Valentine: 0450 288 429
MAZON BIN
Please consider bringing along to our Services a non-perishable food item with plenty of ‘use by’ date. A yellow and red Mazon Bin is brought out at each Service. The groceries go directly to Christ Church Community Centre, St.Kilda, for their emergency relief pantry. Please phone: Susan Kohn: 0408 349 292
BOOKS 4 PNG KIDS - www.books4pngkids.org
Do you have any pre-loved children’s books in good condition? No text books please. The books will be forwarded, free of charge to remote villages in PNG.
