Members of Ocean Grove Day VIEW Club and Ocean Grove Evening VIEW Club are calling on the community to give generously this Anti-Poverty Week from 12 to 18 October.
People are being asked to sponsor a child or donate to the national children’s education charity The Smith Family.
The focus of this Anti-Poverty Week is to end child poverty in Australia.
Ocean Grove Day VIEW Club helps 28 children and Evening VIEW 21 kids through The Smith Family’s Learning for Life education support program, which provides families with long term educational, financial, and personal assistance so that children have all the essentials needed to make the most of their education.
While fundraising plays a vital role in helping children in need OG Day VIEW Club president Sue Kayler-Thomson is also encouraging women of all ages to donate their time and skills by joining a VIEW Club.
“Recently, members in our local area have been participating in reading with local primary school children, a trivia night which was a lot of fun and also a great fundraiser, walking, knitting and movie groups,” she said.
VIEW Clubs always welcome new members.
