Who is this project supporting?
Manningham Uniting Church partners with many community groups and this Giving Tree project is supporting CareNet and LinC Manningham
About CareNet
CareNet exists to increase food accessibility and the community’s capacity to overcome food insecurity. Since 2018, CareNet has innovated new ways to make food accessible to those experiencing food insecurity. They have done this by working together with other community groups, including MUC, to provide food relief from multiple locations, using a number of different models. The CareNet team works hard to provide food that is nutritious, culturally appropriate and generous.
