The West Footscray Neighbourhood House is again hosting its annual Easter raffle.

Manager Marianne Wangira said funds raised from selling tickets will go towards updating the resources in the childcare centre.

“We don’t make any money off the program and obviously the toys and the resources in the room get very well loved,” she said.

“The money goes to new toys, new highchairs, anything and everything to do with childcare.

“We have 60 to 70 children through that space every week so over a year things just get quite worn out.”

Ms Wangira said hampers will be given to the first, second and third prize winners.

“We have accepted donations for items to go in the raffle, and some great things contributed from local businesses,” she said.

“They will include Easter gift vouchers, and other Easter and household goodies.”

Ms Wangira said raffle tickets can be purchased at the reception or at toy library sessions.

The raffle will be drawn on Wednesday, March 27.
