Join in a night of community, connection and music

The community is invited to join in a night of music and connection to help back efforts to provide a safe place to sleep for those in our community without a home. The event on Tuesday, 1 July from 7pm-9pm is being held at Zac’s Place (1-3 Wills Street in Wangaratta). A donation on entry will help raise much needed funds for Zac’s Place and the Wang Night Shelter which open six nights a week to support those in the community who are doing it tough and sleeping rough this winter. Queensland band River Movement and local musician Rhys Duursma will set the soundtrack for the evening. Director of Zac's Place and project manager of the Wang Night Shelter, Di Duursma, said this is a family friendly event and everyone is welcome. “These musicians are well known for playing locally in schools, festivals and community events," she said. "This is a time to gather to hear stories, take off your labels at the door and come together over the love of music. "Rhys Duursma is a local artist and has been a long time supporter of Zac's Place and the Wang Night Shelter. "He has played in Zac's Place in Wangaratta, NSW and Swansea in Wales in the UK. "We look forward to hearing his stories which touch a deep place within the community. "It's not River Movement's first time supporting us in our work and those who are on the margins of community." Those who wish to financially support the Wang Night Shelter and Zac's Place can donate at Bendigo Bank to Zac's Place Inc, ref. Wang, BSB 633000, Acc.no.155600257 or The Wang Night Shelter has accounts that people can donate directly to at Everyday Gourmet and La Bella Rocca. The Wang Night Shelter is still calling for overnight volunteers for the 10pm to 7am shift during winter nights. They currently open six nights per week and are aiming for seven with the support from the community. Volunteer training runs are held on Tuesday afternoons from 2pm - 4pm. To get involved or for more information, contact Wang Night Shelter via email at wangnightshelter@gmail.com or follow them on Facebook.
