In a post on Facebook, RMHC Orange thanked Lawrence's IGA Canowindra and the local community for their support.
"What a wonderful surprise we received this week," the post read.
"Thank you Annah for reaching out to RMHC Orange and delivering this wonderful gift of donations to support our families.
"A huge shout out to Lawrence's IGA Canowindra and the wonderful community of Canowindra for the support of families who stay at RMHC with a sick or injured child and also high risk pregnancy mums.
"This support is so valuable, and this delivery included non-perishable items and toiletries to name a few items.
"We are so very grateful as are our families."
The post went on to say that Canowindra families had been well supported by the charity since its opening.
"Since opening, 15 families from Canowindra have stayed with us over 93 nights - keeping families together and close to the care they need," the post read.
"RMHC Orange has saved families from Canowindra $13,950 in accommodation only (This figure excludes items such as breakfast, access to laundry and laundry detergent, toiletries, basic non-perishable food items, emergency meals and dinners)
"Thank you so much to all involved. With love from RMHC Orange and our families."
