Donnison St. Outreach
In conjunction with Gosford City Council, Central Coast Leagues Club and a number of other churches on the Central Coast, NVBC is involved in the Donnison St Outreach, which seeks to feed, honour and befriend those who are homeless and marginalised in the Gosford area.
Volunteers from NVBC often provide over 100 meals each Wednesday evening and in addition, have on-going connections with the homeless of Gosford throughout the week.
As the name implies, the outreach is located in Donnison St., Gosford.
