NEW DROPOFF LOCAT IONS
WARM HEARTS Fill pantries for the less fortunate this winter
The Parklea Winter Food Drive is on again this year with even more locations to donate at throughout the Cardinia Shire. Now in its third year, the annual Food Drive provides residents of the community with the opportunity to donate non-perishable food items to help fill the pantries of those in need. This year, Parklea is aiming to reach even more families with a number of local businesses volunteering as drop-off locations. During July and August, local residents can drop nonperishable food to Club Officer, Montessori Beginnings Child Care at Timbertop Estate, Cardinia Life (Aligned Leisure), Arena Cafe at Arena Shopping Centre, Officer and Timbertop Sales Suite. “With the support of local businesses this year, we hope to be able to provide more families with much needed food during the colder months,” said Jarod Mills, Sales & Marketing Manager at Parklea. “As a developer in the South East, Parklea is committed to helping improve the wellbeing
and quality of life of those living in and around our communities,” said Mr Mills. The Winter Food Drive is one of Parklea’s community initiatives. Other initiatives include a Christmas gift drive to support local families doing it tough, and supporting local community groups, events, and charities throughout the South East. All Food Drive donations will be distributed via The 4C’s, a Pakenham-based charity that supports local families and individuals with food, shelter, counselling, training and financial relief. Most years, the charity distributes 500 tonnes of food. Items most needed by The 4C’s are tinned fruit and vegetables, tuna cans, legumes, long life milk, pasta sauce, dry pasta, soup, rice and other grains. If you run a local business and wish to offer your business as a drop-off location for next year’s food drive, contact Parklea via parklea.com/drop-off-location.
