The scope of the charitable work by the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church is proceeding on a local, national and global scale.
The enthusiasm of our volunteers is ever increasing, and we feel compelled and drawn into stepping up to serve our first responders, the emergency services reacting to adversities and those suffering as a result of hardship, all while maintaining social distancing.
But nothing keeps RRT volunteers going quite like hearing the impact their support is having on the community, and the lives of those in need.

RRT volunteers from Leeton donated 20 food boxes to Leeton Connect with Kindness.
Whitton-Murrami Public School was among the recipients, sharing this message:
"On behalf of Whitton-Murrami Public School and the Whitton community, I extend a warm thank you to Leeton Connect with Kindness for the kind donation of RRT food boxes to our families in need. It is during times like these that many families and community members in our small rural towns are forgotten and endure hardship that may not be experienced in larger centres. The smiles on the recipients' faces said it all".
Ongoing communication with various Leeton agencies within the shire and community schools has enhanced strong working relationships and quality feedback obtained has helped to facilitate growth, direction and above all improvement.
At the end of the day, it's all about mates helping mates.
