Back in April Afford came 1st place in Grill‘d’s community program at Penrith and recently our lovely staff from Raffles visited the restaurant to receive the award and $300 generously donated to us. The community program aims to give back $500 to three community groups every month, each getting their own jar which sits at the entrance of the restaurant. Upon ordering food each customer is handed a token and have the opportunity to choose their favourite charity they would like to donate to. The tokens are then counted at the end of each month and the winner is awarded $300 while the other two groups receive $100 each. While visiting, our staff got to meet Grill’d staff member, Junior, who took a keen interest in knowing about Afford and our services as disability is something close to him as his Aunty and 2 cousins were in a car accident and now have disabilities. After hearing about the services we provide along with our great programs and events such as Club Afford, Afford Getaways and the success of the Afford Gala Ball, Junior asked for us to send him an event calendar so his staff can volunteer or be part of Events. He wants to be more involved with us and not just be able to help once a year.
