While Vinnies, Salvos and Lifehouse have families they know and support throughout the year, Lifeline North Coast collaborates with local schools to identify families in need.

These families (names and identifying features removed) are printed in News Of The Area, with community members invited to select a family to support.

Through the ongoing generosity of the Coffs Coast community, the vast majority of identified families have received support.

“We thank the community for supporting these families, it’s wonderful to see,” Leon Walsh from Vinnies commented.

“We are so close to having all families supported,” Mandy Dawkins from Lifehouse care said.

“We know it’s been a rough and financially hard year for so many, so the fact we have been able to support these families so far has been amazing.

“We collectively have 115 families we are supporting in the community, from all walks of life.”

Nicole Hayes from Lifeline North Coast said the giving nature of the Coffs community “really shows” each year.

“We couldn’t be more thankful,” she said.

If you or your business would like to Support-A-Family, it’s not too late.
