Thanks Lee. Our very chatty table is now out on the corner. Next time you’re meeting up with someone and are not sure what to talk about or where to go … pop past ACC … our table might be the perfect place!

We were a bit sad to see that someone had damaged our seed library a few weeks ago … but super pleased to have Corrado and Max on the job on Friday to cut some new Perspex and repair the door for us.

Thanks!

Look at this gorgeous knitting that came from St Michael’s in North Carlton for the ASRC this week.

Did you know we are a collection location for the ASRC? We’re very pleased to be able to help out by providing a local point for dropping off food and material relief … and to witness firsthand the kindness and generosity of our community.

Interested in donating? Find out more here - including what we accept!

Darebin Council has a provided our neighbourhood house with access to Rapid Antigen Tests to distribute to people in our neighbourhood who are at-risk members of multicultural communities and those most in need.

So, if you feel sick and need to do a Covid test, and are from a multicultural background, are older or have a disability or don’t have family support, or are on a pension etc. etc. and can’t access one elsewhere for whatever reason … then please feel free to email us or call.

And if you live nearby and are feeling like you are too sick to leave your house we can possibly drop the kit off to you!

Thanks Darebin Council for looking out for the most vulnerable in our community. It is reassuring to know that our governments are working together and utilising their networks including their connections to grassroots community organisations like ours to ensure that no one misses out on testing if they need it.

What IS the first thing you think about in the morning? This week we started a new community art project with the sander and dremel … engraving some conversation starters in our timber tables that live out on the front corner.

Keep an eye out for the finished product coming soon … and perhaps trial our questions next time you sit down there for a morning coffee or bike riding break …
