Building Community in the Beautiful Manning Valley

Welcome to Manning Valley Neighbourhood Services, where community support in NSW thrives. From emergency relief programs to community gardens, we’re here to help families, individuals, and volunteers through every challenge.

A Community That Cares

When federal emergency relief funding ended after 16 years, it was a huge blow for Manning Valley Neighbourhood Services. But thanks to the TURSA community grant they were able to access a $20,000 grant from TURSA, enabling them to  continue providing vital support—Christmas hampers, food and fuel vouchers, and more. This funding ensures They can keep helping those still recovering from disasters in Manning Valley NSW.

How Manning Valley Neighbourhood Services support Manning Valley.

  • Emergency Relief NSW: Food and fuel vouchers for those in immediate crisis.
  • Community Programs: Weekly cuppas, SecondBite food distribution, and social activities.

The Heart of Our Community - Volunteers

Our volunteers are the backbone of our service. From 17-year-olds to those in their 80s, they bring warmth and dedication every day. Together, we’ve built a trusted organisation serving Manning Valley for over 45 years.

Our Community Gardens in Action

Our community garden in Manning Valley grows seasonal produce—even through floods and storms. Here’s how it makes a difference:

  • Fresh veggies and herbs available for the community.
  • Weekly meals cooked from garden produce.
  • Community lunches that bring people together.
