Tonight we received another amazing donation of fresh fruit and vegetables, and we are so grateful for the continued support from our community.

At 6pm Abby and Miranda got straight to work cooking and preparing the vegetables so they could be frozen and turned into packs for those who need them. By 9pm the job was done, and we now have another 15+ vegetable packs ready to go out to people in the community.

People often ask us what we actually do, or when we find the time to prepare these packs. The answer is simple, once the kids are in bed, we get to work. Tonight we even had some help from the teens, which made it even more special. This is what community looks like, everyone pitching in to help others. 💚

Thursday already! That means the week is nearly wrapped up and a fresh new week is just around the corner, a chance to reset, refocus and start again.

At GCS we always say every new week is another opportunity to check in on yourself and those around you. Whether it's setting a small goal, getting outside for a walk, catching up with someone you care about, or simply taking a moment to breathe, it all counts.

So tell us… what are your plans this weekend?
Do you have any goals in sight for the new week ahead? 💙

We are currently looking at organising a Silent Disco fundraiser for our community! 🎧🕺💃

This event would not only help support GCS, but also raise funds for two other amazing organisations in our community. While events like this are a little outside of our usual goals, we think it could be a really fun and unique experience for everyone and a great way to bring the community together.

We are still in the early planning stages, but the idea is to have four different age group sessions so everyone gets a chance to enjoy it:
• Kinder
• Primary School
• High School
• Adults

We would absolutely love to hear what the community thinks! Is this something you or your kids would be interested in? Let us know in the comments! 🎧

Also we will need ideas for location and catering etc so let us know if you know anyone...

Our GCS – Raising Awareness One Drive at a Time Inc petitions are going amazing! 🎉 We now have well over 200 signatures, and the support from the community has been incredible.

Even better, we’ve been in touch with the Latrobe Valley Council, and they’ve given us the procedure for formally bringing the petition to them. That means we’re almost ready to present it and make our case for helping those in need in our community.

A huge thank you to everyone who has signed and shared, every signature brings us closer to making a real difference. 💙 Keep spreading the word, because together we can create meaningful change!

Right now we’re reaching out to the community because GCS – Raising Awareness One Drive at a Time Inc truly needs your support.

We have just secured a new supplier for our food bank, and we still have the same amazing supplier for our meat, which is an incredible step forward for helping people in our community who are struggling. But to keep these services running and continue supporting those who rely on us, we urgently need sponsors, financial donations, and volunteers.

There are a few different ways you can support and donate to help keep GCS going: • PayPal Giving Fund
• GoFundMe
• Directly to our bank account

Everything we do is driven by community support. Whether it’s a business willing to sponsor us, someone able to donate financially, or people who can spare some time to volunteer, every bit of help keeps GCS moving forward and allows us to keep helping those who need it most.

If you or your business would like to support what we do, please reach out. Together we can keep this going and continue making a real difference in our community. 💙

Today Abby is flat out tackling a big job, cleaning up her daughter’s room together! 😅

It might seem like a simple thing, but moments like this really matter. Taking the time to help, guide, and support our teens while they learn responsibility can make a huge difference in their confidence and wellbeing. Sometimes the best conversations and bonding happen while sorting through clothes, moving furniture, and having a good clean out.

Supporting our young people, being present, and working alongside them reminds them they’re not alone, and that kind of support can mean everything. 💛
