Enriching Our Communities: The Co-Group's Impactful Donations
We're proud to announce some positive news from our parent organization, The Co-Group! They've been making a real difference in our communities through generous donations to several worthy causes, including:
Fighting Food Insecurity and Social Isolation with C Care:
The Co-Group recently donated to C Care, a leading organization on the frontlines of fighting food insecurity and social isolation. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the need for their services, particularly for seniors struggling to meet their basic nutritional needs. C Care's innovative Pantry Box program impressed The Co-Group. This program caters specifically to disadvantaged seniors, empowering them by allowing them to choose essential groceries and self-care items tailored to their specific needs. C Care goes beyond food delivery, with dedicated volunteers providing crucial social connection and education about health, nutrition, and well-being.
Supporting People with Parkinson's Disease:
The Co-Group's generous donation to the St Kilda PCYC directly impacted the lives of people living with Parkinson's Disease (PD) in the local community. This incredible contribution supported the club's unique Boxing for Parkinson's (B4P) program.
Empowering People with Disabilities with Youngcare:
A donation to Youngcare helped several people with disabilities maintain their independence and improve their quality of life. Youngcare's At Home Care Grants and Home Support Grants provided essential funding for equipment, home modifications, and support services. These grants empower individuals to remain living in their familiar environments, surrounded by loved ones.
Supporting Families Facing Leukodystrophy:
Leukodystrophy Australia's Family Advocate program plays a crucial role in assisting families coping with leukodystrophy. Thanks to The Co-Group's funding, this program has been able to operate on a full-time basis for the past year.
We at Enrich Abilities are incredibly proud to be part of The Co-Group family. These donations are a testament to their commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
