Cafs clothing hub a CHW bottle partner

CHILD and family support organisation Cafs has been named beneficiary of Central Highlands Water’s bottle fundraiser for the next two years.

As part of the partnership, CHW will donate money raised through the sale of their reusable water bottles to Cafs’ Thread Together clothing hub program.

“We’re excited to partner with CHW through the water bottle program,” said Cafs CEO Wendy Sturgess.

“Minimising waste and encouraging the community to purchase a reusable water bottle strongly aligns with the program’s aim.

“Through Thread Together, we redistribute excess clothing stock through our purpose-designed clothing hubs.

“Without the program, many of these items would end up in landfill.”

Thread Together supports people in need by supplying them with new clothing, shoes and accessories.

“Our water bottle partnership highlights CHW’s commitment to fostering sustainable living, thriving communities and a healthy environment, with 100 per cent of the money raised through the sale of reusable water bottles going to this valuable program,” said CHW managing director Jeff Haydon.

“CHW’s water bottle program aims to minimise single-use water bottle purchases and

encourages the community to make tap water their drink of choice.

“We look forward to supporting Cafs to grow the Thread Together program, which is driving social and environmental change.”

Ballarat Begonia Festival over the March Labour Day long weekend is usually the biggest water bottle sales period, but the bottles can be purchased at CHW and Cafs offices for $10 at any time.
