Ensuring everyone across Brimbank has an egg-cellent Easter, local not-for-profit Helping Hands is organising an essential donation drive.
Volunteers at the centre are running an Easter Egg Drive across their Sunshine and Airport West stores.
This donation-spree will allow people to give back to the community by dropping off an Easter egg — knowing that by doing so they’ve helped make Easter a better time for a family in need, according to Helping Hands’ Maddie Kent.
“All of the Easter eggs collected will be distributed through Helping Hand’s community pantries … which are an essential food aid service that provides grocery items to families and individuals in need,” she said.
“We know that most of the people coming through our pantries don’t have extra money to spend, so it’s important that we are able to do what we can to ensure that no-one has to miss out on having a ‘normal’ Easter.
“If you’re wanting to support Helping Hands in bringing joy to families in need this Easter, you can simply visit our Sunshine Op Shop store.”
All someone has to do to get involved with this drive is drop in and leave an Easter Egg in the collection basket that will be set up near the front counters.
The Sunshine Op Shop is located at 85 Hampshire Road.
