As part of our ‘Caring for our Community’ initiative, Mornington Peninsula Shire in partnership with local Community Support Centres, is offering care packages for our most vulnerable and isolated community members who are impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic on the Peninsula.
The Shire has packing and distribution centres in Rosebud, Mornington and Hastings run by Shire staff and community volunteers.
Care packages will be sent to eligible households through contactless delivery. Care packages will include non-perishable food and essential hygiene items.
Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor Councillor Sam Hearn said “we know this pandemic, the social isolation required, and the impacts on people’s jobs and income we’ve seen are making it really difficult for some of our community members”.
“We’ve already distributed hundreds of packages to those in need, we hope they assist in making this trying time a little easier”.
You are eligible to receive a care package if you:
- are being impacted by Covid-19 due to self-isolation
- are considered ‘at risk’ of getting COVID-19
- have no support locally to access supplies
- are experiencing significant hardship due the current situation.
