A Doorway To Emergency Relief

Every week, the Federal Government allocates $2,600 to the Doorways Emergency Relief program, providing crucial support to individuals and local families facing hardship. These funds play a vital role in ensuring that those going through tough times have access to essential services and resources.

In the Burdekin region, Gwen Marshall spearheads this initiative through the Burdekin Community Association. Working closely with the Neighbourhood Centre, Gwen and her team are dedicated to helping those in need by providing immediate assistance, such as food vouchers, utility payments, and other essential items.

“This funding is a lifeline for many in our community,” Gwen Marshall said. “It allows us to offer real, tangible help to people who are struggling to make ends meet. Whether it’s someone who has lost their job or a family facing unexpected expenses, we’re here to support them through difficult times.”

The Burdekin Community Association building, along with the Neighbourhood Centre, serves as a hub for distributing these much-needed resources. The efforts of Gwen Marshall and her team ensure that the allocated funds are used effectively to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they assist.

For anyone in need of assistance or looking for more information, the Burdekin Community Association can be reached at 4783 3744.
