. In the 2022 and 2023 Red Shield Appeal at the Royal Easter Show in the Olympic Park Showground, we have organized 50 volunteers to do about 500 hours of service.
. Organized online digital door knocking.
. Contacted the merchants to carry out "good heart purchase, good heart sale".
On 3rd Jan 2021, the NSW government issued a mandatory mask order due to the rebound of COVID-19. The epidemic may have rebounded, and the year of 2021 may still be turbulent, but the love of the Georges River Association is spreading faster. We have distributed over 1000 face masks and 1000 bottles of disinfectant with 8 local shops together to the Hurstville residents for free. Read more >>
During this uncertain time, we are determined to do things we can to work with our local community together to support people dealing with hardship. We donated more face masks and disinfectants to The Kogarah Storehouse, St George North Anglican Church and St George Anglican Church in Jan 2021. Read more >>
