Cr Matthew Blackmore, Mayor of Strathfield
A big shout out to our Community - Strathfield Council's Food Appeal is underway. With the rising cost of living, it saddens me to see there are an unbelievable amount of residents and families suffering locally.
I ask residents to drop down to the Strathfield Council Library and Innovation Hub to make a donation of non-perishable goods by 8 August. All donations will be distributed by local charities to the people most in need.
I have had many residents reach out to me recently about the tough times they are facing. The Strathfield community is beautiful and caring, and I urge you to reach out to your neighbours, friends and family and see how they are feeling.
If you need help with any local matters please contact me anytime 0406 099 048 or cr.mblackmore@strathfield.nsw.gov.au

Bushcare Relaunched!
Thank you to everyone who turned up to support the Bushcare Program on Sat 16 July!
