Our aim is to foster resilience in our community by providing support, assistance and opportunities for connection and collaboration and to support all in our community to value the life they are living and have hope for their future. Dungog Shire Community Centre is a not-for-profit community organisation with Deductable Gift Recipient Statues.
All funds and donations given go directly to service provision and program support for isolated, vulnerable and disadvantage people in our community, as well as providing whole of community programs and opportunities such as Doug the Reading Bug, Dungog Community Garden, Boomerang Bags, Saturday Local Growers Market, Paterson Allyn Williams Science Hub.
We value and appreciate the support and generosity we receive from the community to enable us to provide services and assistance to our most vulnerable. Without our community partners much of the support we provide would not be possible. We would love you to share in our vision and support the incredible work of the Dungog Shire Community Centre.
