WESTCARE COMMUNITY SERVICES is the strategy of ImagineNations Church to give love, care and hope to our community. We are passionate about serving our local community through acts of service, providing skills and resources to see a brighter future.

MISSION STATEMENT
Restoring dignity and hope to people in need .

VISION                  
WestCare Community Services is the initiative of ImagineNations Church and for the past 25 years has continued to care for individuals and families in need in our community. We are committed to the relief of poverty, suffering, distress, misfortune and helplessness of people regardless of age, sex, race, ethnic background, religion, political beliefs or marital status.

Located in the heart of the Penrith Community on Henry Street; WCS offers a caring environment with a growing body of experienced volunteers.WCS is a great avenue of resource. By networking with other organisations we can source out the best support required for individual clients needs. Likewise many clients are often referred to us by other government and non-government organisations. However a referral is not required.

OUR SERVICES AND PROJECTS
CANCER CARE
This program provides assistance to families or individuals in their homes that have been affected by cancer. In these times of extreme illness, we provide emergency food parcels and budgeting assistance.

SPECIAL CARE
Once a year a $5000 donation is given by WestCare Community Services to a selected family who has a child with a disability.  This donation is for the specific purpose of purchasing equipment needed to care for the child eg. a wheelchair.

BUDGET CARE
Many people simply have not learnt the skill of home budgeting. This is where we offer assistance to families and individuals in learning how to succeed in their finances. This is done through one on one appointments and through small group learning.

EMERGENCY FOOD SERVICES
Our most active service is our emergency food service where we provide food parcels, EAPA vouchers (electricity vouchers), clothing vouchers, Telstra vouchers and water vouchers for families and individuals in time of need.

CARE PACKS
Westcare  has launched it’s new project of meeting the needs of our community with a range of care packs. Our goal is to provide supplies to help improve the morale, mental health and quality of life for those that have been affected by stressful and life altering circumstances. Previous recipients of our care pack have been the “Tresillian Family Care Centres”. Together with other community groups, we are looking at offering this services to a different range of people. 

CHRISTMAS HAMPERS
During the festive season we endeavour to bring hope, love and blessing to people in tragic or challenging circumstances through nominated organisations with beautiful Christmas hampers filled with food and gifts.

OP SHOP
Our op-shop clothing store in Kingswood seeks to provide low cost clothing, once a month living skills workshops and referral services for those in need.
