Annual Charity Gala & Auction
Reflecting on 2024, Inspiring 2025
About Us:
Olivia's Place is a registered, local not-for-profit charity based in Drouin, Victoria.
We provide services across Gippsland to families experiencing challenges around the time of welcoming a baby.
Holding firm to the philosophy that it takes a village to raise a family, the community is involved through the collective giving of goods, finances and volunteering of time.
Olivia’s Place operates thanks to the generosity of the local community, successful fundraising efforts, and grant opportunities. While we do not currently receive long-term sustainable funding, the ongoing support of our community allows us to continue delivering vital programs for families in need.
