MISSION: RAISE FUNDS TO REBUILD HOMES FOR FLOOD SURVIVORS

Two years after the community-led emergency response, the Northern Rivers community finds itself in desperate need of assistance once again.

In the wake of the catastrophic floods of 2022, many vulnerable community members are still living in dire conditions, devoid of stable homes.

It is in this critical moment that the Hands and Hearts Project emerges as a fundraising platform to help flood survivors buy trades time & materials to help them get home.

With determination and compassion, the Hands and Hearts Project endeavours to uplift the lives of the community's most vulnerable members, offering them a chance to rebuild their lives and find solace in safe, habitable homes once more.

The Hands & Hearts Project has had a financial partnership Mid Richmond Neighbourhood Centre (MRNC), since its inception in June 2023. All donations are paid direct to the DGR status charity, invoices are paid by their finance team, and all invoices are available to view at the link below.

In June 2024, an official auspice partnership was signed & MRNC RSS team implement the project in flood effected communities.
