SHEPPARTON Marketplace has donated $3000 to the Caroline Chisolm Society – GV Pregnancy & Family Support Services (CCS-GV) as part of a recent Thank You Project.

The donation follows the month-long Thank You Project where customers and retailers were invited to share a message of thanks on the giant centre Community Appreciation Wall to acknowledge the efforts of the many essential workers in our community.

GV Pregnancy and Family Support, founded in 1972, offers pregnancy support services and relies on donations and volunteers to provide free essential services to pregnant women and families.

Last year they conducted more than 600 welfare appointments.

CCS-GV lead practitioner, Maree Chin said, “This $3000 donation is a fabulous boost to the recent Winter Appeal that was conducted by the Greater Shepparton Foundation. We are so grateful as it means that we will be able to offer more material aid support to families in 2020”.

The Thank You Project community appreciation wall is located outside Big W at Shepparton Marketplace.
