"Just one meal a day for my family." That's all I ask.
Visit either DCO Chemist store to donate to Helping Hands Somerville. Your contribution can help community members provide daily meals for themselves and their families.
It is a sad reality that in our community of Somerville, there are single parents with children, women fleeing domestic violence, age pensioners, young families, people with a disability and many others who, after paying the rent, struggle to afford food and other essential needs.
Helping Hands of Somerville aims to assist financially disadvantaged individuals in Somerville by providing food and other essential items to help restore their dignity.
They are currently distributing food to over 300 local people and their families every week, and they know that these numbers are growing.
Over this Christmas period, both the Direct Chemist Outlet Stores in Somerville are asking our customers to donate just $5 when they come into the store to support the great work Helping Hands Somerville is doing.
Helping Hands Somerville is a registered Charity, run and staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers. So every cent of every donation will go to support local people when they are in dire need of help.
