‘Wrap with Love’ is a mission of Mercy not a charity. It was the brainchild of Sonia Gidley-King in the 1990’s. Whilst undergoing treatment for cancer she wished to do something worthwhile and so ‘Wrap with Love’ was born and is now Australian wide, completely run by Volunteers. Completed wraps are delivered to a large warehouse in Alexandria where they are checked, packed and shipped to countries in dire need due to war, floods, fire as so on. Requests for wraps come from World Vision, Mission without boarders, Red Cross , Caritas just to name a few. Corrimal Wrap with Love members meet in the Parish Centre on the 2nd Thursday of every month between 10am and 12 Midday. So if you love to knit or crochet you are more then welcome to come along and ask for Maureen. https://www.wrapwithlove.org/
