uniforms – diverting them from landfills and upcycling them into new, useful products, such as tote

Love in Action Broadford Incorporated

Each week we provide food, toiletries and cleaning goods to homeless and struggling people in our area.
Each Friday our volunteers make up boxes of fruit and vegetables for people who have made an appointment. They come in and choose items from the pantry stock, then take their fresh boxes. These people have been assessed as needy by the Ececutive of Love in Action Broadford. WE ask them to come in as that means they need to get up, get dressed and come into the Centre. Many of these have had their mental health improved as a result and are now volunteering to help us out regularly. If needed, we do deliver-people who are sick, who don't have a car etc. A cup of tea and a sit down with others usually takes place. At times we have items to give out free as well. WE give Easter, Christmas, gifts and supply the children with school stationery. WE do make sure they have connected with other support systems, that their rent taken out of their pension so they don't get behind with rent.
