ABOUT LCV
Local Community Ventures (LCV) is a registered tax deductible charity and an initiative of C3 Camden Picton Thirroul. With a focus on providing support for people suffering from poverty, sickness, distress, misfortune, destitution and helplessness we endeavour to bring hope to those who face everyday without it.
LCV commenced operation in January 2021 and was birthed out of a desire for our church to effectively increase its level of support to our surrounding communities. C3 Church Camden Picton Thirroul have been involved in serving their local communities for many years and LCV enables us to take our local community support to the next level while also providing an opportunity for business and personal donors to make tax deductible contributions towards this vital work.
Current LCV initiatives include food hamper programs across our three LGA's, a meal trailer, budgeting support, community programs and ongoing relief to those affected by the 2019/2020 summer bushfires and the COVID pandemic. As our resources grow it is anticipated that other programs will be added across our locations to meet needs within the community.
We are committed to partnering and networking with other agencies to help fill gaps wherever we have the resources.
