Western suburbs charity, West Welcome Wagon (WWW) is facing a daunting financial reality. Currently supporting more than 600 households of 2,300 asylum seekers and refugees in the western suburbs, the organisation has found itself with only two months of funding remaining.
In a bid to help the charity’s financial situation and support asylum seekers and refugees in the west, White Possum has teamed up with local producers to launch the Western Melbourne Gin Flight Pack.
A portion of the proceeds from each pack sold will be donated directly to WWW.
The collaboration between White Possum and West Welcome Wagon aims to not only offer locally produced gin but also make a meaningful impact within the community.
White Possum founder Paul Peng said the partnership supports local makers whilst also aiding those making the difficult transition to a new life.
“The work that West Welcome Wagon does is so important for the newest and often most vulnerable members of our community. It’s an honour to have been considered as a contributor albeit in one small way,” he said.
West Welcome Wagon (WWW) board member said the charity is “incredibly grateful” for the partnership.
“The support generated through this collaboration will help us to continue our vital work of welcoming and assisting newly arrived individuals and families in our community,” he said.
