Put food on the table. Give hope for tomorrow.

For families like Janice and Tim’s, knowing WestCare is there can make all the difference. But that support needs to be there not just today, but next week, next month and throughout the year.

When everything changed for Janice’s family

Janice had stepped away from work to care for her two young children, Chloe and Darren. But when her husband Tim lost his job, their family’s circumstances quickly changed.

With rent, food and electricity costs rising, Janice and Tim began going without meals themselves so their children could eat.

“It’s so hard, and just so tiring. I just didn’t know what to do.”

Then they found BaptistCare’s WestCare Centre.

Through the Community Food Hub, Janice and Tim could access quality food and essential items at a price they could afford. Most importantly, they found people who treated them with dignity, kindness and without judgement.

“I can go there, get what I really need and can afford, and take care of my kids’ needs.”

When Janice explained that Darren was also experiencing problems with his sight, the WestCare team helped connect the family with its Eye Clinic so he could receive the care he needed.

For families facing crisis, that support can make all the difference.
