Material Aid
There is still Material Aid available at the Neighbourhood House.  We have a large assortment of blankets, towels and bed linen as well as toiletries, shoes, boots, baby clothes and other sundry items still available. Please come along to the House and have a browse around for anything you may need.  Large scale material aid will be winding down over the next few months and we will be back to our role of providing emergency relief and referral to appropriate support agencies. 
 
Opportunity Shop
Great news is that we have two new volunteers who are interested in revamping and running our Opp shop at a low cost to the community stay tuned for the re-opening. 

Craft Classrooms
The Craft Classrooms are still in the pipeline – just finalising things like permits, to get them up and running. Sewing, knitting and craft sessions will be held Mondays and Fridays and most materials will be free.  In the mean time Marie Gibson has offered to support a sewing group on Friday Mornings at 10am in the old school room at the house so we can get our brand new sewing machines up and running.  You can bring in your own projects or Marie can help you invent one with our amazing donations of patterns, materials and threads!  You don’t have to be experienced just come along and have fun.  Group starting Friday April 9
