Community Care Centre Ballarat (CCCB) provides essential household goods, such as furniture and appliances, to individuals and families in need, helping them create safe and stable homes.

Working with local welfare agencies, CCCB ensures that people facing difficult circumstances, such as those fleeing domestic violence or homelessness, receive the support they need to rebuild their lives with dignity.
