Share the Love: Alstonville Community Gathers to Welcome New Refugee Family

The Alstonville community is coming together this Valentine’s Eve for a heartfelt celebration of music, food and solidarity – all in support of a newly arrived refugee couple making their home in the Northern Rivers.

The event invites locals to “Share the Love” on Friday 13 February, from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Alstonville Anglican Church Hall on Daley Street. It promises to be an evening filled with warmth, generosity and the unmistakable charm of live gypsy‑jazz music performed by Acid Bleed.

📅 Friday 13 February

🕠 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM

📍 Alstonville Anglican Church Hall, Daley Eureka Street

Bring your own picnic or enjoy a tasty sausage sizzle. There’ll also be a raffle on the night.

🎟️ $10 per person or $20 per family – cash preferred.

The flyer’s graphic design was generously created by Juan Carlos Guerrero, a refugee and talented designer whose work reflects the spirit of resilience and community that defines the evening.

For more information, community members can reach out via avillewelcomesrefugees@gmail.com.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, this gathering offers a meaningful way to celebrate love – by extending it to those who need it most.
