About the Friendship Club

Centacare Catholic Family Services invites you to share your commitment to family life through membership of a Friendship Club.

The Friendship Club is a fellowship of people who care and show compassion for the many people in our community who come to Centacare seeking help to rebuild or strengthen their lives.

Friendship Club members see a need for a continuing commitment. By joining together, members’ funds provide the financial security Centacare needs to plan and develop its services to help families who come into its care.

We look forward to sharing with you our commitment to all families and, with your help, to bring love into the hearts of those in pain.

How to become a Friendship Club Member

You can choose the level of support that best suits you now and review your choice of commitment each year at Easter, when membership renewals are made. Members can also choose to pledge their donation over equal instalments by cheque or credit card.
