Castlereagh Care News
Did you realize that Castlereagh Care is our own help arm?? It is an initiative of Gilgandra New Life Centre and in the two years it has been functioning has quietly been helping people in Gilgandra and beyond. We have sent furniture , clothes, food and money to such places as Coonamble, Bourke and Brewarrina.
During this time we have given (from goods and money donated and purchased, both locally and further a field), many food packages around town to people who were caught short, furniture in some amazingly barren situations, and money, for urgent housing and transport needs.
Just recently we have passed on, specifically as drought aid, about 16 pallets of food to Gilgandra and beyond, and $12,000 of aid. The setting up of this operation has given people who wish to help, a vehicle to work through. If you know of needs please tell Jack or Phil.

If you would like to help we gladly receive donations of furniture and money, which is tax deductible - remember to get a receipt.
