McGregor Gardens is helping the most vulnerable in the community with their own food drive uniting residents around support for local charities and volunteers.

Staff, residents and their families at Menarock LIFE McGregor Gardens have been donating spare goods for a food drive.

Soon, the items will be bagged and given over to many charities across Pakenham including Have Hope; Inc., Outlook, Purton Place Pre-Loved Shop and Sammy’s Community Pantry.

The food drive will continue until around the end of February or the start of March. Residents will jump on a bus and deliver the donations personally.

At the same time, staff are currently distributing tickets for a raffle to support the Bunyip CFA.

The raffle will be drawn on Tuesday 18 February at McGregor Gardens.

All funds raised for the raffle will go to the brigade alongside two hampers.

Anyone is welcome to drop off donations at McGregor Gardens, 11 McGregor Road, Pakenham. You can get in contact about the food drive or raffle by calling 5941 9633 and asking for the lifestyle coordinator or any well-being staff.
