While Reconciliation Week draws to a close, our commitment to reconciliation and welcoming all people at the CNC does not.

At the CNC we are ALL IN.

We gathered today at Smokey Town Cafe to celebrate national volunteers week. These are SOME of our incredible team members here at the CNC.

Golly where would we be without you?

Well we do know... we wouldn't have a board of management, a garden, programs like food relief and community lunch, clean and organised buildings, fundraising, our market, the chooks would be hungry, there would be no bread, the bins wouldn't get put out or bought in, general maintenance would go unchecked, friends that feel like family and the dishwasher would always remain unemptied and be full of clean dishes! Imagine that. It takes a Villiage.

Thanks to Bald Hills Creswick Landcare for organising such a great community planting day. With such a terrific turn out of Landcare and community members on Saturday, all 1600 plants were in in no time at all! Was also great to see quite a few kids along too.

Thanks to all involved and the Creswick Lions Club for the BBQ.

Together we can continue to beautify our town!

(And apologies for the lack of photos - was too busy planting!!). Others are welcome to share pics too

Heartfelt thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers as we kick off Volunteers Week!

You make the CNC what it is today - the heart and soul of the place. From the little jobs to the enormous ones, we thank you.

Please pop into the CNC this week so we can thank you in person!
(and if you would like to register for the Hepburn Shire's volunteer thank you afternoon tea on Friday afternoon, call or email us at the CNC for more info).

And our 'CNC volunteer thank you morning tea' will be next week as we are just too flat out this week and want to thank you all properly without rushing (See the CNC volunteer whiteboard in the kitchen for details and to RSVP).

Enjoy the glow of Volunteer Week and know that we see and appreciate you all. If you would like to join our team of volunteers, please pop into the CNC to find out how. 🥳

And thank you to Newlyn Primary who helped us serve over 50 meals on Tuesday as part of Neighbourhood Houses Week and the Longest Community Lunch.

And a special thanks also goes to our team of volunteers who cooked up FOUR magnificent curries as well as crumble for dessert! And lovely community member Laura from and sunshine in Creswick who donated 40 home makes American style cookies.

Oh, and a visit from Dave McNamara CEO of Foodbank Victoria who helped chip in and serve lunch too! Multi skilled, and a terrific guy who was very impressed with our set up at the CNC.

Lots of full tummies this month. Love this community :)

Kids kids kids!! What a great day we had during Neighbourhood Houses Week!

Thank you to Creswick Primary School who came for a cooking and gardening session this week with Holly and Chef Drew as part of their Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program. Firing up the pizza oven and using fresh ingredients from the community garden to make pizzas and fresh salad was a highlight for all of the grade 5/6 students this morning.

In the afternoon we welcomed St Augustine’s Primary grade 3/4s who came learn about how to sustainably and how they can lessen their impact on the environment, and also how to have an impact and play a role in supporting their local community! What better place to do that than at the CNC.

Big thank you!

The future is in great hands…

If you are able to get along and help Bald Hills Creswick Landcare planting at the Creswick Creek. Let them know using the contact details in the flyer. Many hands really make less work in this case!
