The Community Spirit Is Alive And Well In Parkes This Easter

April 2, 2026 By Roxane Manley

The wonderful team at the local Parkes Big W store recently supported the Lifestyle So­lutions foster care team with a very gener­ous donation of Easter chocolates.

For children and young people in care, holidays can sometimes be a challenging time. Small acts of kindness from the local community help create a sense of belong­ing and ensure they don’t miss out on the holiday fun.

The Lifestyle Solutions Parkes team was thrilled to receive the donation, noting the immediate impact it will have: “Big W Parkes, your kindness and support will bring joy and smiles to children in our foster care program this Easter.

“Because of you, Easter will be a little bit brighter, a little sweeter, and full of special moments for the young people we support.”

A huge, heartfelt thank you to the BIG W Parkes team for their generosity.

Children and young people all across Australia urgently need foster carers, par­ticularly in our local area. Could you open your heart and home to a child who needs you? To fond out more go to: www.lifestyles­olutions.org.au/foster-care/foster-care-withlifestyle-solutions
