Eureka Mums’ One Mother to Another campaign is asking people to put together a toiletry bag with all the essentials, and something special like a scarf for mum.
“But the most important thing is an actual card that says you are another mum, it’s not an easy job to do, and we are thinking of you,” said Eureka Mums operations manager Trinsa Lewis.
Eureka Mums received a gift of its own this week with a $10,000 grant from the CommBank Centenary Grant program.
“We’re thrilled to be able to support organisations like Eureka Mums in the important work they do,” said CBA Ballarat branch manager Soraya Toone.
Ms Lewis said the grant, the biggest in the group’s history, would make a big difference.
“We get all the donations from the public but cash allows us to pay for things like the building and rent and essentials like power.”
