The Picabeen Community Centre was thrilled to receive a donation of cosy winter woolies last month. Lovingly hand-knitted by members of the Samford community, these items will go a long way in helping those within our community doing it tough stay warm this winter. The team at Picabeen handed out the donations at their recent community BBQ and visitors were overjoyed to receive the donations. The drive was organised by the Samford Variety Store as many of their customers are keen knitters and were eager to help out in anyway they could. Leilani, owner of Samford Variety
