We are so grateful for the amazing support Liesl Tesch gives the We Care Connect supporting vulnerable children across the Central Coast.

Liesl became an instant supporter when she first learnt about this all important program offering to be a drop off point for the donations of children’s items that we depend upon.

We Care Connect

Over 10,000 children live below the poverty line on the Central Coast!  At the same time the Central Coast is a caring and sharing community who really want to help. We Care Connect enables this to happen.

Our program collects and sort community donations of pre-loved children’s items. We then give these donated items  to families in need through the professional network of community centres and family support agencies. 

Liesl’s great support

Liesl’s support plays a key role by providing donors in the southern wards a convenient location to drop off donations. We’re blown away with Liesl’s helping hand!
