Our impact.
“My daughter has benefitted a lot by being involved with Operation Stitches and I would like very much to see other children as well together with their families benefit in the same way as we have.
Thank you for making a difference in the Richmond Public Housing estate.”
– Parent
“I have chosen to volunteer with the Homework Club because I believe that starting at a young age, a positive attitude to education is essential for a bright future. Every week I see the difference that we make to the lives of these children.
I am grateful to Operation Stitches for the opportunity to make a difference and be a part of something so positive in the lives of these gorgeous kids!”
– Volunteer
“Operation Stitches provides so much support to the kids, their families and to the community through numerous ways – tutoring, food vans/drop offs, donations, free events and most importantly, emotional support and guidance.
Patrick and Chris Templeton always find a way to ensure that everyone’s needs are met. They are the heart and soul of Operation Stitches and they have bettered the community in countless ways.”
