Community Programmes Needed
Midcoast Outreach identifies community problems and finds some form of solution during crises.
For example, the Capturing Water Project were the generously donated tanks need to be filled by those impacted by fires.
Through Spanline and Aussieports and Outreach sourced an affordable high quality carport and guttering to provide outside shelter and capture water.
