Community Programs
At the Wonga Park Community Cottage we love to bring the community together through our events, the Pop-up Cafe social connection initiative and many other community programs - from International Women’s Day celebrations to market events, Garden club meets and morning teas.
Not only do these events offer community members a chance to meet other locals in a relaxed environment, it also fosters social connections and improves public welfare. In particular, our local food relief activities with the Good Neighbour Food Pantry has grown exponentially together with the Manningham CareNet Satellite Food Pantry program.
Want to be involved in community projects or need support? Drop in or call us. Looking to connect in activities with likeminded community members? Join us for some fun at the Cottage.
