May 2025 Event in Nepean - Here's What's in Store!

As we gear up for the May 2025 Neighbour to Neighbour Event in Nepean, the excitement in the air is electric. This is more than just an event; it’s a chance for our community to join together, uplift one another, and truly impact the lives of families in need. If you’re looking to make a donation, lend a helping hand, or indulge in some delightful treats, there will be something for everyone. Let’s explore what we can expect this year!

What to Expect from the Event

Imagine a lively gathering brimming with laughter, support, and a shared mission. We’re launching this fantastic free event centered on giving back to the community. From delivering essential goods to families struggling financially to extending moral support, every action matters.

Neighbors helping neighbors is the foundation of our community. Your kind donations can help families rebuild their lives, replace essential household items, provide clothes for their children, and so much more. According to recent local surveys, 25% of families in Nepean are facing financial hardships. Your support can create a significant ripple effect of kindness that strengthens us all.

Donations: More Than Just Items

Every single donation serves a specific purpose and fulfills a pressing need. Whether you're helping a single parent save money on groceries or providing students with the tools they require to excel in their education, every little bit makes a difference.

We are accepting various small and medium-sized donations. Here are a few examples of what you can contribute:

• Household Items: Decor, cleaning supplies, bedding, and basic kitchen items.

• Hygiene Products: New and unused items such as shampoo, lotion, toothpaste, and toothbrushes.

  
  

A selection of delicious homemade cupcakes ready for sale.

Additionally, baby items like clothing, toys, and playpens can be a tremendous help for struggling parents. School supplies, electronic items such as printers, and pet-related items like cat food and litter are also greatly appreciated. If you have items lying around that you no longer need, chances are we could use them!

Sweet Treats and Community Input

To sweeten the deal, we’ll feature homemade cupcakes at just $1 each!

Yes, you heard that correctly. Enjoy delectable treats while helping those in need. Plus, we will provide complimentary water bottles to keep you cool and refreshed during the event.

But that’s not all! We also want to hear from you. Your thoughts and ideas matter. We will have a dedicated space with post-it notes for you to share feedback. This way, we can continually adapt to meet our community's needs and improve our services.

Sustainability with a Bottle Drive

In addition to donating items, we are excited to host a recycled bottle drive as a fundraising initiative! By bringing your empty plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and specific glass bottles to the event, you'll not only support a great cause but also contribute to our sustainability efforts.

Help us fund essential community services by recycling. Here’s a quick look at the items we’ll collect:

• Aluminum Cans: 100 ml – 2 L

• Certain Glass Bottles: 500 ml – 2 L

• Plastic Bottles: 100 ml – 2 L

  
  

By recycling, you're not just tidying up your home—you're also helping to fund essential community services. Remember, every little bit counts!
