Commuter Parking in Gosford
Federal MP Lucy Wicks has notified us that the Government has committed $30 million towards commuter parking in Gosford and $5 million towards parking in Woy Woy. We have also been advised that Central Coast Council are currently in the process of choosing their preferred site for the Gosford car park. As a number of our families are train commuters, we would like to suggest you consider responding to the following issue.
The Central Coast Commuters Association is concerned that Central Coast Council will use the funds to construct parking close to the Central Coast Stadium rather than the train station. This is a 20 minute walk for train commuters and they are requesting we all consider completing the online survey the Council is conducting on the issue. The survey can be found at the this link: https://www.yourvoicecoast.com/parking

Over the past few weeks, Green Point Baptist Church has been partnering with Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre to help those who are doing it tough in our neighbourhood as a result of Coronavirus. The One + 1 Food Aid Project is based on a simple idea - when you are out shopping, buy a few extra items each week and build up a food hamper that can be passed onto a family who really needs it.
We would love for you to get involved with us in this project.
Each Wednesday morning, Kincumber Neighbourhood Centre runs its Food Pantry Program. For a gold coin donation, recipients are given two generous bags of groceries, often supplemented with a loaf of fresh bread, various fruit and vegetables, even eggs sometimes. In the half hour before the food program begins, a line of 10 people quickly grows to 60 people or even more, stretching the entire the length of the carpark. Leanne who heads up the program, says the last few weeks the number of people seeking food aid has been growing. Three weeks ago, there were 80 people and they nearly ran out of food.
When you look at the line, there is mix of older and younger people but they are mostly women. They wait quietly and patiently. When the volunteers begin serving people, they do so with generosity, dignity and kindness. Without exception, every person they speak to brightens and some even manages a smile when they realise they would not be judged. Every time we deliver food hampers, Leanne and Collette from KNC speak about the quality and thoughtfulness of the grocery items that are given and how it gives them options and helps them to respond to particular needs.
Remember, once you have completed a food hamper, items can be dropped off at the kitchen in the Church office between 9:00am and 12:00pm, Tuesday to Friday or the College office if it needs to be earlier. For more information, feel free to call the Church office on 43691585.
