Doctrine Board
We would like to acknowledge and thank Marie Corkett for her generous donation of the new Doctrine Board that is hanging on the wall in the foyer. This donation is in memory of Marie's husband, Kevin, and we are grateful to the Corkett Family for gifting this to Parramatta Corps.

Second Bite
We are excited to let you know that Parramatta Salvos is now partnering with Second Bite. This means that we are able to collect frozen meat, fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs and bakery items from Coles at Westmead three times a week. We started the collections on Tuesday and have been amazed at how much we have received, enabling us to distribute so much more to people in our community.

We have also been able to make simple meals in the cafe and give breakfast and lunch to people visitng our centre.

If you are able to help with Second Bite pick up from Coles Westmead, even once a month, please contact us at parramatta@salvationarmy.org.au

As part of this even we want to give away some hampers as prizes to people who are attending. Over the next month or so if you are able to donate any non-perishable food items or new goods for these hampers, please bring them along and put them in the basket in the foyer. Suggested items are:
