EMERGENCY RELIEF
WDBC Emergency Relief is a volunteer run organisation set up to provide assistance to Haweksbury residents in need or financial crisis.
Whether you need a food hamper to tie you over until your next pay day, or utility vouchers to help pay phone or electricity bills, Emergency Relief is here to help.
We gratefully acknowledge the generous donations of food and finances donated by members of our church and the local Hawkesbury community.
FOOD HAMPERS
Food Hampers are available by request to pick up on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 10am and 12pm.
BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL so that our volunteers can ensure there is a hamper ready for you. Hampers are not available if you drop in without an appointment.

EAPA
(Energy Accounts Payment Assistance)
If you’re experiencing financial hardship and finding it difficult to pay your utility bills, you can apply for an EAPA voucher.
EAPA vouchers are sent electronically to your energy provider and added to your home gas or electricity account.
EAPA vouchers are available by appointment only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Voucher types and amounts will be issued at the discretion of the caseworker based on the outcome of the interview and how many vouchers have been issued in the last twelve months.
You’ll be required to bring the bill in your name, plus 2 forms of identification.
