Kempsey Families Inc. has supported the vulnerable and disadvantaged in our community for over 25 years and continues to do the same work and service delivery as we face the COVID -19 Pandemic in our community, across NSW, Australia and the world. In fact, all families we support need our support more than ever, particularly those impacted by domestic or family violence, poor health and financial implications as we self- isolate. It means the team at Kempsey Families Inc. are just doing things a little differently.
We know that this current health crisis can place women and children at heightened risk, so if you are in immediate danger call 000.
