Bridge Club's Generous Gesture: Supporting the Nambucca Valley FoodHub
The Nambucca Valley Bridge Club (NVBC) has proven that their passion for the game can make a significant impact on the community. In a heartwarming display of generosity, they donated $1,040 to the Nambucca Valley Community Church's FoodHub, a vital initiative serving those in need.
Since 2012, the FoodHub at 2 Ridge Street, Nambucca Heads, has been a beacon of support, offering discounted and even free food to pensioners and healthcare card holders facing financial challenges. This remarkable organization relies on dedicated volunteers to make a difference in people's lives.
The NVBC's annual charity day is a highlight, where members generously donate table fees and trading table proceeds to a local charity. This year, they chose to support the FoodHub, recognizing its invaluable work.
"We wanted to express our community's gratitude for their efforts," shared NVBC representative Carol McKee. "The FoodHub's volunteers are making a real difference in people's lives, and we're honored to contribute."
With 90 members, the NVBC is a thriving regional bridge club, but there's always room for more. Bridge, an ancient game dating back to the 16th-century whist, has evolved into the modern contract bridge, beloved worldwide. Members rave about the game's addictive nature and its positive impact on mental health.
The Nambucca Valley Bridge Club welcomes newcomers and plays six days a week. For those interested in learning more, visit www.bridgewebs.com/nambucca/home.html.
