I am sure a lot of our customers who come here feel the same way.
In September of 2020 we brought our Publinc Communities program to the Eastern Creek community, our membership platform which gives our members access to awesome perks and an opportunity to earn points during their visits, which they can pledge to local causes that mean the most to them. We’ll then turn those points into real cash donations.
The team and I set out to find our first charity for our customers to support but with Eastern Creek being an industrial area, we did find it difficult to find a local group to support at first.
We broadened our search to surrounding areas and came across Kids West. Their stories were so inspiring that I felt this non-profit organisation was a perfect fit for Eastern Creek Tavern.
When I spoke to Kids Wests founder Trevor Oldfield it very clear that the team at Kids West has an endless desire to help, educate and support those in need. With such a great cause it was a no brainer having Kids West join our program.
Kids West was founded out of a need to provide funding and support to Western Sydney hospitals.
They do an amazing job in the Western Sydney area by raising much needed funds for medical equipment, research, and the development of childhood accident awareness and prevention programs.
What makes us so proud to have the opportunity to support Kids West is that even though they already do so much work in the Blacktown community, their efforts stretch even further.
During challenging times, they have delivered fruit boxes to our frontline workers during to show gratitude for their efforts and travelled to communities impacted by drought and floods to deliver presents and joy to kids when it is needed most.
Eastern Creek Tavern’s customers have really got behind Kids West’s work. It’s a cause that resonates with them as many are parents themselves.
This is the part that touches us the most: being able to join with our customers to support a cause our community connects with and make real change together.
We welcome you to Eastern Creek Tavern and if you want to support a wonderful charity like Kids West or know a group in need of support, we look forward to meeting you.”
