Support LinC Yarra Valley: How Your Donations Make a Difference

In the heart of the Upper Yarra Valley we stand as a pillar of support for families and individuals in need. Every week, we assist hundreds of people through a range of practical services, including providing fresh food and food parcels. This essential support is made possible by the generosity of our community, including dedicated volunteers and donors like you.

Why Your Donations Matter

1. Meeting Immediate Needs

Every day, individuals and families in our community face challenges that can be overwhelming. At LinC Yarra Valley, our mission is to alleviate these struggles by providing crucial resources. Your donations help us meet immediate needs by ensuring that people have access to fresh and nutritious food, essential household items, and support to cover basic expenses.

2. Supporting Sustainable Assistance

While we receive generous weekly donations of fresh food from local businesses, our ability to offer consistent support relies on the donations from our community. Cash and non-perishable food donations enable us to purchase items that are not always available through other sources. This helps us maintain a steady supply of essential goods and ensures that we can continue to offer support without interruption.

How You Can Contribute

1. Make a Cash Donation

Cash donations provide flexibility and enable us to allocate resources where they are needed most. Whether you’re able to give a little or a lot, every dollar counts. Cash donations are not only impactful but also tax-deductible, making them a practical choice for many supporters. Your financial contributions allow us to purchase non-perishable items, cover operational costs, and expand our outreach efforts.

2. Donate Non-Perishable Food Items

Non-perishable food items are always in high demand. Your contributions help us create comprehensive food parcels that meet the diverse needs of those we serve. Here are some items that are particularly useful:

– Canned fruits and vegetables: Essential for a balanced diet.
– Canned meat: A great source of protein.
– Rice and Pasta:Staples that are versatile and filling.
– Gluten and Dairy-Free Items: To cater to specific dietary needs.
– Long-Life Milk and Cereals: Important for breakfast and nutrition.
– Oil and Cooking Products: Necessary for preparing meals.
– Cleaning Products: Vital for maintaining hygiene.

Please ensure that all food donations are within their use-by or best-before dates to ensure safety and quality.
