Behind every packed bag, folded item and donation is a family being reminded that their community cares

How amazing are these St Columba’s students?!
As part of our new School Partnership Program, this Year 11 class ran their very own fundraiser, raising an incredible $300 before heading to Kmart to purchase essential bedtime items for families supported by CCS.
A creative, hands-on way to make a real difference in their local community. We are so grateful for their support.
If your school is interested in getting involved with CCS and supporting local children and families, please contact us to learn more about our School Partnership Program.

No better way to celebrate National Volunteer Week than with a great game of Bingo!
Our volunteers are the backbone of our Material Aid program at CCS, and their support means the world, not only to us, but to the families we support every day. Without their dedication, kindness and generosity, we simply wouldn’t be able to support our community the way we do.
Yesterday was all about giving back and saying thank you to our incredible Essendon, Caroline Springs and Shepparton volunteer teams. We are forever grateful for the joy, passion and care you bring to CCS each and every day.
