Helping Hands Mission
Ben CARROLL (Niddrie – Minister for Education, Minister for Medical Research) (10:12): It was also very exciting to attend the official opening of Helping Hands in McIntosh Street, Airport West. This is a wonderful service that the Allan Labor government has contributed $350,000 to to help them transfer to McIntosh Street, Airport West, to continue supporting 70 families every day with their community pantry, supported also by the wonderful LaManna at Essendon Fields. With their employment and education programs and Gaye’s Vintage Shop, Helping Hands is a wonderful icon in the Niddrie electorate. Its new home in McIntosh Street, Airport West, will ensure that it goes on to service the local community for many years and many decades to come. I congratulate Melanie and all the team at Helping Hands.
