SKLPCWA has partnered with City of Stirling ‘s initiative of food relief during the COVID-19 crisis. City’s food relief is operating from Balga Community Centre. They are currently operating through foods donated through SecondBite organisation and a partnership with St Vincent de Paul.
We are assisting St Vinnies WA with help feeding the needy.
