CareWorks director Jennifer Guise was inundated with support following an appeal for tradesmen and volunteers to help her establish its new headquarters.

"When we put out the call for help, we were not expecting the level of support we have since received. We've been inundated with offers from so many organisations and people - it's been fantastic," Ms Guise said.

Various Sunbury businesses have become involved in the CareWorks SunRanges Community Crisis Aid Facility project.

"Hume place manager Lawrence Seyers and the Sunbury electrification project team were one of the first to respond to our call for help and have been exceptional in co-ordinating the supplies and work needed to set up our new premises."

Tools, mulch, concrete, timber, fittings, pavers and other equipment were donated by the electrification team.

It also presented CareWorks with a cheque for $10,500. Bunnings Warehouse donated items including paint, outdoor sail shades, tools, plants and gardening supplies. Shutter Components Australia has supplied roller shutters and Middys provided electrical supplies for the fitout.

RSEA provided first-aid kits for the centre and Aussie Made Letterboxes donated a letterbox.

CareWorks is a not-for-profit organisation that provides emergency food, accommodation, financial aid, counselling and advocacy and other support to the disadvantaged.

Ms Guise said the organisation was waiting for minor building approvals, but the new site would be operational on August 24.

Help is still needed, including to install carpet, and electrical support and construction of a front service desk.

"The new bigger facility means we can have a support group there and a separate counselling room. We'll be able to continue doing what we do – helping people in need."
