Maitland Neighbourhood Centre, Carrie's Place and the Maitland Uniting Church's, Munch Program will share in a $30,000 donation from the club.
The Club's CEO Ian Martin said the this financial year has been difficult for many organisations in funding and operating during the COVID19 pandemic.
"We identified these three organisations and the important role they play within our community," he said.
"It is not only good community awareness to assist in funding these organisations, it is also the right thing to do."
Maitland Neighbourhood Centre's acting manager Wendy White said the organisation was "thrilled" to receive the unexpected funds.
"We will certainly make very good use of the money, every cent we receive is put to use for the community," she said.
While the donation's purpose will be discussed at a future staff meeting, Ms White said the increasing incidence of homelessness in the area would be one area she would like to concentrate on.
