New Garden Plots for Yarrahapinni Community House

The new garden plots.

YARRAHAPINNI Community House has welcomed the warmer weather with the installation of new raised garden beds that supply seasonal produce to the public through their Recycled Shop, a delightful venue that is enthusiastically supported by volunteers, locals and transient visitors alike.

Not too daunted by the struggles of recent flooding, the organisation continues to offer services beyond their well-stocked recycle shop including crisis support, Justice of the Peace services, referrals to outreach support, photocopying, internet access, laminating, form filling assistance and venue hire.

“We have about fourteen volunteers which includes five in the garden, as well as one paid administrative employee,” said Secretary Helen Hayter JP.

“Partly funded by grants from NSW Department of Family and Community Services, the remainder is from our own fundraising proceeds that we give to the local Primary School, the Pre School, RFS, and SPaDCO (Stuarts Point And District Community Organisation).”

Information pamphlets are also available including: Government departments/Centrelink, general and women’s health, men’s support services, drug and alcohol support, aged care, disability and hearing, and housing and legal issues.

Though only open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9am to 2.30pm, Yarrahapinni Community House functions as the local human ‘bee-hive’ and welcomes new volunteers.

Yarrahapinni House is a not-for-profit organisation situated at 42 Ocean Avenue, Stuarts Point,
