Helping Children & Families Association

For over fifteen years, Helping Children and Families Association (HCFA), a local volunteer-based organisation has been supporting families with young children and connecting them with resources in the community.  

As we approach the end of 2023, in spite of active work to achieve the strong financial base needed to secure the continuation of this service into the years ahead, the question is out...

Is Helping Children and Families Association in danger of closing?

In the past five months, so many community members have come forward to help HCFA. We know that our community wants and appreciates this service.
