Dance the night away for a good cause

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish will host a dinner dance fundrasier.

Proceeds will be donated to two local charities – Give Until it Hurts Wednesday Kitchen and the Winter Night Shelter – which both assist those in the community who are doing it tough.

On the night, expect good food, live music from John Curran and plenty of fun entertainment.

Community members can make donations on the night, or before the event, of goods like pantry essentials, toiletries, blankets, beanies, gloves, socks and sleeping bags. The grateful charities will distribute the goods to those in need.

Cash donations are also accepted.

“The dinner dance is a great way to support the activities of GUIH including the Wednesday Kitchen and the Winter Night Shelter, whilst having a fun dinner out with your friends and family,” GUIH president and co-founder Garnet Jacob said.

“It’s a FUNdraiser with a difference, yummy food, live music, dancing, a raffle and prizes to be won.”

The Dinner Dance will be held on Saturday, July 5, at 6.30pm at St Anne’s Parish Hall, 101 Riddell Road, Sunbury.

Tickets will be $20 for adults and $10 for children aged six to 12.

Dinner includes rice with black bean beef, curry chicken or vegetarian noodles.
