Toukley Neighbourhood Centre Inc has been in existence as a Community Centre since 1984, incorporated in 1987. In the past the Centre offered services such as Toukley Police Citizens Boys Club and a Food Co-op.
Today, the Centre manages numerous community projects and programs and has approximately 40 volunteers involved in all aspects of the Centre's projects. The Centre is a registered charity and depends on fund-raising for many of its activities. The Centre is situated in Heador Street Toukley. It is open Monday to Friday.
We have returned to our history by establishing our Food Care service in 2006. From 2006 to early 2011 it was supported solely by the funds raised by our Op Shop in Main Road Noraville. The service has evolved in numerous ways over the years. In April 2011 Toukley Neighbourhood Centre Inc. in partnership with Lakes Food Care officially opened their Food Care service in the East Toukley shopping district. In 2017, we were forced to relocate Lakes Food Care again due to re-development of the site. Today, we are occupying a premesis at 309 Main Rd, Toukley. We hope this will be a long lasting home for LFC.
Local member Darren Webber joined us to celebrate opening of the service which at the time assisted 280 families per week with rescued food. In July 2011 the service increased its operating hours from one day to three days per week.
The Centre receives funding to support our services. We are funded by FaCS (The Department of Family & Community Services), DSS (Department of Social Services), Department of Fair Trading, Department of Health and Aging and The National Australia Bank.
