ABOUT US

We Care Community Services is a Not-For-Profit organisation that was founded in
1997 to assist individuals and families in local communities who are suffering
from hardship. In particular we supply essential items such as food, clothing,
toiletries and bedding without charge through our community events called
Helping Hand Days and our volunteer run Helping Hand Centre. Since then we have
expanded to run programs that assist children in need by running a Playgroup
program, numerous high school programs that assist in building positive
self-esteem, and community events that help to bring joy during the Christmas
season to those in our community facing hardship.

It is our vision to improve the quality of life for all people in order to equip
them for a better future. In this day, we believe people in Australia should not
miss out on the necessities such as food and clothing. It is our desire to make
a difference by providing assistance, where we can, to families in need.

TESTIMONIES

“We recently had a mother come through one of our playgroups. She and her
husband had gone through a very tough financial situation and didn’t have enough
food to feed their children. It was outside of our normal hours of operation but
we provided them food to last the month and offered to help connect them to
other partner organisations who could offer support in the other key areas of
need.”

 

“Our playgroup program is not only about the children. Through our Playgroup we
bring our community together and promote understanding. We have seen so many
mothers and children make friends. What is more exciting are those who are new
in Dandenong either as refugees or disadvantaged in some way. In that social
cohesion they are giving support to each other.”

 

“Our schools programs have connected with a wide array of young people in our
community and we have noticed an increasing connection in our schools programs
with teenagers who have recently migrated to Australia. We love that on top of
our focus of encouraging teens to make positive life choices we can also help
migrant teens assimilate into the diverse social settings within their schools.
There are countless stories of this happening but one we have observed recently
is of a boy who attends one of our school programs near Dandenong North. When he
migrated to Australia he spoke minimal English and skipped school a lot because
he struggled to connect with other teens due to language and culture barriers.
He started attending our lunch program at his school and was able to observe how
to engage with other teens in a healthy way. His English has now improved and he
has chosen well in regards to the people he spends time with. We have loved
watching just how much our programs have helped him as a disengaged migrant teen
to assimilate into our community in an effective way.”

 

“We recently had a single mother with 4 kids (one as young as 18 months) who had
been forced from her home. She ended up in a temporary living situation in a
caravan park. Needing food, clothes and shoes we were able to not only meet the
basic needs but to link her into other support avenues from not-for-profits that
work within the broader Dandenong community landscape.”




“We had one student progress to RMIT successfully, one to Swinburne and 3 others
progress to other tertiary institutions. Another student went through another
English program for 18 months but really struggled. He has now made significant
progress and is able to converse fluently in conversations.”
