What does Rural Care Link do?
We’re a not-for-profit organisation that depends on the contribution of its volunteers to achieve its goals. Rural Care Link Inc. provides a safety net of kindness, consideration and support to those in need within our community, including:
- Assistance to those in Genuine Need and circumstances, including:
– groceries and other essential household items; and
– a public relief fund if the situation necessitates;
- Operation of an Opportunity Shop, selling clothing and other items and providing these items for free to those in particular need;
- Promoting a sense of community to both existing and new residents by publishing a monthly community newsletter, ‘The Jindera News’ that highlights the activities of community groups and organisations in the region;
- Referral to Local and National Resources;
- Our Carer’s Group provides confidential counselling and support. We endeavour to assess and meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals and families within the community, in a caring and supportive way;
- Support local Schools via Grants and individual student support;
- Other services and activities of a charitable nature that are beneficial to the community as the Rural Care Link Committee shall determine from time to time.
