June 2nd, 2022Cafs celebrates one year of Thread Together with launch of EOFY campaign

June marks one year since the official opening of Cafs Thread Together Hub and to mark the occasion Cafs is launching their 2022 End of Financial Year Campaign.

In it’s first year of operation Cafs Thread Together Hub has supported nearly 1000 people, given away over 7,500 items of clothing and worked with 50 different partners from more than 30 referring agencies across the Central Highlands area.
“Cafs has been supporting children and families as a proudly independent organisation for nearly 160 years and, in that time, we have expanded to deliver more than 44 innovative support programs specifically designed to meet the needs of people across our region”, said Cafs CEO, Wendy Sturgess. “New programs, such as our Thread Together hub, do not attract government funding so to ensure that we can keep delivering services to vulnerable people we need to undertake additional fundraising activity.”
Cafs is seeking to raise $50,000 through the EOFY Campaign to allow for expansion of their Thread Together service to incorporate a ‘Mobile Wardrobe’ and emergency Thread Together supplies at Cafs offices in Ararat, Daylesford and Bacchus Marsh
Donations to the appeal can be made via Cafs website www.cafs.org.au or by contacting Cafs Marketing Team on 5337 3333.
