Duke Street Community House has been nominated for a CommBank Donations Program funding boost, but it needs the community’s help to get it over the finish line.
To increase its chances of receiving $5000, the organisation needs locals to put in a vote for the centre.
The centre’s manager Emma Price said the community’s support could make a huge difference.
“We can make $5000 go a long way to improving the lives of our community,” she said.
“With 52 years of experience serving this community, [we] support over 300 community members each week to access education, food relief, and social activities.”
Ms Price said the centre receives minimal government funding and relies on grants and donations to continue to provide high quality and vital services to the community.
“These vital funds will be used to provide meals and food to [those] in need as well as purchase essential items for the community house to allow [us] to continue to deliver free education,” she said.
“Duke Street is at the heart of our community, every cent will go directly back into the community.“
