KINDNESS CUPBOARD

Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown)—After ten years in operation, The Place, Charlestown's Community Centre, has been working non-stop to help support and improve our local community. Now, they have teamed up with ProjectKindness to launch the Kindness Cupboard. The Kindness Cupboard is filled with non-perishable foods and hygiene items available for anyone in the community that finds themselves in need. It provides a helping hand to those who need it, along with the opportunity for people to give back and support others on the premise of "take what you need and leave what you can." ProjectKindness is an organisation that works to help people be kind to one another by connecting people with in need with donated goods and services that can help change their lives for the better. With so many people doing it tough in the Charlestown Electorate and around New South Wales, it is really heartening to see that The Place had the forethought to set up a Kindness Cupboard. This is yet another fantastic initiative on the part of The Place and ProjectKindness and another example of how the Charlestown Electorate comes together to support those facing tough times. There can never be too much kindness.
