ETC donates $25,000 to LifeHouse Care to help those in need

ENTERPRISE & Training Company (ETC) has provided a $25,000 grant through its ETC Community Support Fund for Coffs Harbour LifeHouse Care.

LifeHouse Care provides holistic support to people facing significant life challenges to help them regain independence and stability.

The grant will be used to purchase essential items such as white goods, furniture, and bedding, which are critical for those transitioning into safe and stable housing.

“At ETC, generosity isn’t just something we do – it’s part of who we are,” CEO Damon Munt told News Of The Area.

“As a not-for-profit organisation and registered charity, our purpose goes beyond delivering employment and training services.

“We exist to make a positive impact on people’s lives and strengthen the communities that we operate in.”

Mr Munt said the ETC team are thrilled to support LifeHouse Care especially for its vital work in providing immediate relief and long-term support to some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

“This funding will make a significant impact on their ability to continue this important work.”

To celebrate the partnership, ETC staff visited LifeHouse Care’s office, where they joined in a Christmas hamper-making activity.

Together, they created dozens of hampers filled with food staples, hygiene products, and household essentials – items that can make an immediate difference for people starting over after a crisis, while highlighting the power of community collaboration.

Since its inception in 2012, the ETC Community Support Fund has provided over $3 million to community organisations, including $2 million in the last three years.

“By investing in programs that address the unique challenges faced by vulnerable individuals, ETC aims to help create a more equitable and prosperous future for all.”
