LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO TOGETHER, CONTRIBUTION IS A CHAIN OF HOPE
The Bribie Community Plant Nursery is not just the hidden gem of Bribie, but they truly are a community asset. They stock an extremely large variety of plants and all monies raised through sales are used to assist worthy causes within the community. In recent years, they have raised funds for several essential community projects including the training of an assistance dog, new diabetes pumps, SES torches, Defibrillators, wheelchairs to be used at Caboolture Hospital, funding for Camp Quality and supported many other local projects, as well as reaching out to people in crisis. This time it was The Bribie Neighbourhood Centre’s turn.
Not only do they donate bi-monthly food parcels, but they have also donated a package to help the homeless.

The package consists of -
10 x 3 Man Tents
10 x Sleeping Bags
10 x Ground Mattresses
10 x Tent Repair Kits
They did this with the help of a very generous discount from Kira and Dan from the Camping, Fishing, Prospecting, Bribie shop, located at 219 First Avenue, Bongaree. Bribie Island & District Neighbourhood Centre, the very grateful recipient of this donation is a community organisation that works within the Bribie Island, Sandstone Point and Ningi areas with the aim of building and maintaining a fair and caring community. The Bribie Neighbourhood Centre is a community meeting place with Reception open Mondays-Thursdays 9 am-3 pm. Everyone is welcome, and services are free.
They have a small team of highly skilled, experienced professional workers, but most of their people are cheerful, caring volunteers, who provide information and referrals to assist with all and any community enquiries.
Anyone who would like to find out more about what the Bribie Community Plant Nursery and the Bribie Island & District Neighbourhood Centre have to offer or perhaps inquire about becoming a volunteer should either drop in for a chat or call them. Also, make sure you head in-store to Camping Fishing Prospecting Bribie and grab yourself a ripper bargain from their winter camping sale!
