Our weekly impact in Mid North Coast
Orange Sky has been providing essential services to our friends doing it tough in the Mid North Coast region since October 2017.
The launch of the service was made possible by the fundraising efforts of local organisation, Make a Difference Port Macquarie. We are now operating one pod in each of the following locations; Kempsey Neighbourhood Centre, Laurieton United Services Club, Taree Manning Uniting Church, Wingham Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
Currently ‘Rosco’ the truck is servicing the Port Macquarie community, and is based at St Thomas Anglican Church. With the ongoing support of volunteers, Orange Sky plays an important role in supporting people experiencing homelessness or doing it tough through free laundry and genuine, non-judgemental conversation.
We are looking for volunteers to join the Mid North Coast team! If you love a chat and have a few hours spare a fortnight, why not get involved? Sign up here
