Donations are a blessing during hard times.

Bubs to Elders were finally able to get together to choose from the many items at a special community event held at Coomealla Health Aboriginal Corporation, Dareton. People came from around the district, stepping out to choose gifts for themselves and loved ones.

“I find it very hard to buy things so I feel very blessed. The donations help a great deal. When you’re on a pension you can’t afford to shop. This makes you feel good, saves your money to pay the bills and buy food.”

Kid’s gift bundles and beauty bundles were separated, with people choosing different items such as cosmetic tool holders to add as part of personalized gift packs for Christmas.

Cuppas and toast are easy and quick to make now that people have a kettle and/or toaster.

Pens and pencils seem to go on walkabout! Stationery for school, artwork design and everyday home use was greatly appreciated.

Deadly, colourful shoelaces make lace up runners ‘pop’as well as being great hair ties.

Mindfulness by colouring-in with stationery, relaxing while reading a book and feeling good by wearing shades resulted from donations added to care packs for families in COVID-19 isolation.

PPE masks, wipes and hand sanitiser were available for people to take as well as added to care packs for those isolating or too fearful to leave their home.

"Thank you to Good360 and all the generous donors for making our lives better."
