The Mutual Bank is partnering with local community groups to help ease the pressure many local families are facing with the current cost of living.
This September our branches and Head Office are collection points for donations of everyday items which charities regularly give out to assist those in need.
Our Chief Member Officer Matthew Dunnill said The Mutual Bank is guided by its values of Integrity, Respect and Care and had proudly been partnering with community organisations for a number of years to support local people in need.
“Our staff, Members and the wider community have always been incredibly generous - donating a few items each, which together makes a big difference,” he said.
“We hope that the community will once again get behind this year’s Mutual Care Appeal by dropping even just one extra item into their shopping trolley with the thought it will help ease someone else’s burden.”
Suggested donation items include:
• Baby items such as wipes
• Personal hygiene items such as toothpaste, deodorant and soap
• Long-life products such as milk or custard
• Tea and coffee
• Pasta and pasta sauce
• Canned fruit
The Mutual Bank’s branches across the Hunter will be collecting items to donate to:
• Dungog Shire Community Centre
• Carrie’s Place
• Maitland Region Community Support
• Soul Hub Newcastle
• Port Stephens Family and Neighbourhood Services
• Our Circle Maitland
The Mutual Bank has been helping people thrive since 1888.
