The handover of toys to the charity organizations will be done on the 30th of November this year. Huge congratulations to all members of the WOSP Toy Makers group. The toy makers get together every Wednesday to contribute their time and skill toward making an enormous number of toys to give away to needy children on the Mornington Peninsula.
Come along on Wednesday and join the fun and support our Mornington Peninsula charities!
Ritchies IGA is well known for its IGA Rewards program whereby loyal shoppers are rewarded. With your registration to the program you can nominate our woodworkers club to benefit from your purchases.
Many years ago the Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula registered as a community service which can be nominated when you sign up for a card.
Each time you scan your card when making a purchase at any IGA store, the total is recorded to your chosen club, school or charity account. At the end of each month, Ritchies will pay your chosen club, school or charity .5% of the total accrued directly into our club’s bank account.

Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula recently received a
Certificate of Appreciation from Food For All. The certificate
was the result of Gaven Davis & Dennis Conner building
much needed shelving in one of their storage containers.
Food for All is an all-volunteer non-profit organization which
was formed in 1991 to meet the need for emergency food
relief which emerged from Poverty Forums conducted by
the former Shire of Flinders.
Each year Food For All is one of the charities that the toy team distribute their toys at the end of the year.
Up to the end of the financial year 2019 Food For All has packed and distributed 70,868 food parcels. Over the past fifteen years Food For All has packed and distributed 9,887 Christmas hampers and also given toys each year to (on average) 500 children of the families receiving
hampers.
The certificate received is a positive proof of one of the ways where WoSP contributes to the community welfare.
Many thanks to Gaven & Dennis for their efforts.
As of today, 16th March, the wood workers workshop will be closed for the next 4 weeks. This is due to the current State of Emergency that has been declared in Victoria.
At the moment this means the club will not be open until after Easter.
The committee will keep members updated when the workshop will reopen.
The committee of the Woodworkers of the Southern Peninsula would like to thank Hillview Quarries on their continued support of the club over a number of years. Their genorosity has enabled the club to continue growing and improving membership and support the making of toys for underprivileged local children.
Thank you again Hillview Quarries.
