🎀 Dignity, kindness and a little bit of love go a very long way ✨️

♥️ Today we had the lovely Eva from Share the Dignity visit us with an incredible donation of period products for the women and girls who come through our doors. Share the Dignity has supported Casey North Community Information & Support Service Inc. for many years, and we honestly cannot express how much these donations mean to us and, more importantly, to the people we support.

✨️ Sometimes we meet women and young girls who are doing it incredibly tough. When every dollar matters, something as basic as period products can become another impossible decision: Do I buy pads, pay for medication, put money towards rent or bills, or buy something to eat?

💔 It’s heartbreaking that anyone should ever have to make that choice. Having your period should never come at the cost of eating dinner or keeping the lights on. Dignity is not a luxury. It is something every person deserves.

🌻 To Eva and the entire Share the Dignity family, and our community at City of Casey for donating ( Donations points at Woolworths at Casey Central Shopping Centre and Westfield Fountain Gate ) in Narree Warren and local. Thank you for continuing to show up for our community and for the thousands of women and girls you support. Every packet donated is more than a product. It is one less worry, one less difficult choice, and a quiet reminder to someone that they matter and their dignity matters.

🦋 We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked alongside Share the Dignity for so many years, and we are so grateful for everything you continue to do.

📍Period products can also be donated through participating Share the Dignity collection points, and there are many other beautiful ways to support their work. Because no woman or girl should ever have to go without the basic essentials they need.

🌏 Thank You to The Nappy Collective! 🤱

🩷 A very special thank you to Novelle and the amazing team at The Nappy Collective for their incredibly generous donation of a huge range of brand-new nappies in different sizes and baby wipes for families in our community.
The Nappy Collective has supported Casey North Community Information & Support Service Inc. for many years, helping us provide essential items to families experiencing financial hardship when they need them most.

💛The impact of this donation is immediate: every pack of nappies and wipes we receive means a family has one less essential expense to worry about. It helps parents keep their babies clean, comfortable and cared for, while allowing limited household funds to stretch a little further towards food, rent, bills and other necessities.

🙏🏽For families doing it tough, something as simple as having enough nappies can make an enormous difference.

👣 We are so grateful to Novelle and The Nappy Collective for their continued generosity and for the incredible work they do supporting services and families across our community.

🌍 Thank you for helping us turn donated essentials into practical relief for local families.

🧼🧴 A Huge Thank You to Soap Aid 🧴🧼

🌈We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Soap Aid for their incredibly generous donation of 180 bars of soap to Casey North Community Information & Support Service Inc.
For many of the people who come through our doors experiencing financial hardship or homelessness, even basic toiletries can become something they simply cannot afford.

🌈🫧These 180 bars of soap mean we can provide an essential hygiene item to clients who may otherwise have to go without, helping people maintain their health, hygiene and dignity during incredibly difficult circumstances.

🧼 Something as simple as a bar of soap can make a meaningful difference when every dollar has to go towards food, housing, bills or simply getting through the day.

🩷Thank you, Soap Aid, for supporting our service and helping us continue to provide practical, essential assistance to people in our community. 💙

Henlo frens!! 👋
It me, Sunny doggo
Lisa the Financial Counsellor’s very impawtant assistant, professional snack inspector, reception enthusiast and goodest boy.
I have been given a VERY impawtant job today.

✨ WELCOME TO CASEY NORTH CISS NEW HOME✨ City of Casey
📍 52–54 Webb Street, Narre Warren VIC
I did personal sniffs and inspeckshun and can confirm: very nice. many smells. excellent humans. 10/10. ⭐

🚗 FIRST: WHERE DO HOOMANS PARK?
There is car parking at service, nextdoor to Windermere and where the Youth Centre is located

🚆🚌 We are also super close to Narre Warren Train Station and local buses, so you can get here even if you do not have four speedy legs like me.
🐶 Now come. I show you around. 🐕💨

📸 PHOTO 1: HOW TO ENTER
When you arrive, you can come up the ramp to the building.
You may hear a little CLICKY CLICK 🔊
When you hear clicky sound, pull door and.
✨ TA-DAAAAA! YOU IN! ✨
Very advanced hooman technology.

📸 PHOTO 2: DIS IS ME OUTSIDE
YES. WE HAVE AN OUTSIDE AREA!!! 🌿☀️
Here I am with my very special ball. 🎾
Sometimes the staff and volunteers sit out here and eat their lunch.
Sometimes food falls on ground.
Sometimes I sniff ground.
Sometimes I find crumb.
I believe this is called community service 🐶🤭

📸 PHOTO 3: TWO BUILDINGS?!
Yes fren. TWO different office buildings joined by our outside area.
Sometimes I run over to the other building because I LOVE RECEPTION VERY MUCH.
Why?
Because reception hoomans keep...
🤫 S P E C I A L S N A C K S. 🤫 (and sometimes lollies for the peoples who comes)
They keep treats in a basket for me and sometimes I hide under the desk so my mummy Lisa cannot see me getting extra snackies.
This is called financial planning.
Lisa is Financial Counsellor so I think she will understand.
