Ten grass-roots community groups have been assisted with a P&N Helping &nd in the latest round of funding.
The groups making up the top ten for this quarter were diverse, with their activities focusing on a range of needs in communities throughout Western Australia.
One of the groups to receive a $2,000 Helping &nd was the Byford Baptist Church Free Food Market. Established in 2016, the Market provides essential food items for over 70 families in need from the Byford area each week.
Coordinator of the Free Food Market, Murray Dixon said the group was down to its last $5 in mid-2107 and P&N's support will make a big difference.
“This grant will enable the Free Food Market to continue its work and provide for additional families if required, because we can plan and manage the provision of groceries with the knowledge that there are funds to ensure the ongoing viability of the service to the community.
“This grant from P&N Bank has taken the stress out of the planning process for the purchase of goods from Foodbank WA,” Murray said.
