Bowen Community Centre recently held its Community Champions Recognition event, a chance to thank the people and organisations who make our town such a special place. Over the past three years, the Centre has delivered 23 free services to the community from chair exercises and playgroups to the soup kitchen, food bank, Second Bite, and cooking classes. These programs are possible because of the champions who gathered with us on 7 December.
The truth is, without these heroes we couldn’t do what we do. The Government provides the space and facilities, but it’s the dedication of 18 community champions that brings events like the Community Carnival, Health Forums, and R U OK Day to life. Their efforts ensure Bowen has the support, connection, and spirit we all rely on.
We are proud to acknowledge the generosity of Abbot Point Operations, Bowen Industrial Hire, Hillery Group, Lowcock Builders, Peries IGA Bowen, Whitsunday Regional Council, Bowen Community Sunday Markets, Bowen Men’s Shed, Aurizon, Bowen Baptist Church, Coral Cove Apartments, ECM Project Engineering, Grace Christian Fellowship, Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Horseshoe Bay Social Club, the memorial of James Barry, Prices Plus Bowen, Woolworths Bowen, and Zonta Club of Bowen Inc.
These Business and community organisations stand shoulder to shoulder with our community. Their belief in Bowen is the reason we can continue offering free programs and events year after year. If we can ask one thing of our community, it’s this: shop locally and support those who support you. Together, we’ll keep Bowen strong and thriving.
