Shoalhaven City Council is delivering a Community Connection Card to every household in the region to encourage the community to support their neighbours during these uncertain times.
The Community Connection Card can be used to offer help to those who may need support in the Shoalhaven to spread some neighbourly kindness.
Shoalhaven City Council Mayor Amanda Findley agrees that a simple act of kindness can go a long way to helping those most isolated in our community to feel like they’re not alone.
“Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic many in our community have struggled to stay connected to one another and are experiencing difficulties in getting essential supplies due to ongoing isolation”, Clr Findley.
“Council is encouraging the community to reach out to others using the Community Connection Card to offer a helping hand. It’s easy and only takes a few minutes to make a big difference in someone else’s day. Simply complete the card and drop it off into a neighbours’ mailbox”, Clr Findley.
The project provides residents with the option to accept an offer of support from their neighbour if and when they need it.
40,000 Community Connection Cards will be delivered to households across the Shoalhaven over the next couple of weeks.
