Every dollar that is generously donated to the Benevolent Fund will be used for charitable purposes.
Donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Mid North Coast Flood Appeal
Severe flooding has once again devastated parts of our Diocese; this time across the Mid North Coast. Torrential rainfall has caused widespread loss and damage to families and businesses across the parishes of Coffs Harbour, Sawtell, Bellingen, Nambucca Valley, Macleay Valley (Kempsey), Port Macquarie, Camden Haven (Laurieton/Kendall) and Wauchope. In response, Bishop Greg has launched a Mid North Coast Flood Appeal to support those affected by the flooding. Every cent raised will be distributed to those in need to fund:
- Mental health support
- Food and clothing
- Rent and mortgage relief
- Help for farmers, including feed assistance.
General Gift Fund
The Diocese also has a general gift fund you can contribute to. This is to support people that may be experiencing hardship due to factors such as financial strain, unemployment, or crises that disrupt their daily lives. This includes people affected by homelessness, those seeking refuge from domestic violence, and individuals in need of support as they look to rebuild their lives.
Every contribution, large or small, makes a difference. We thank you for your generosity and for helping us bring Christ’s love to our communities.
