Did you know that this week is refugee week? At ACC we have a long-standing commitment to supporting refugees that seek asylum in Australia.

We support refugees that have arrived more recently by being a collection point for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre food relief effort.

So, anyone can drop off non-perishable food at any time here at ACC - in the roller shed in our back garden. And perishable food can be delivered on Thursday mornings between 10am-12pm directly to Andy who then drives everything over to Footscray.

We accept multiple donations each week from both groups and individuals, and estimate that over $20,000 of goods are collected for ASRC through ACC alone each year - which is a wonderful commitment by our community to helping out people experiencing immensely difficult times.

It is just so heartening to see so many people demonstrating empathy, care and kindness through the action of donating.
