Soroptimist International Mackay club hosted over 70 guests for high tea at Ocean International, Saturday 12th August. The club’s main aim is to educate, empower and enable women and girls.
Service Leader of Orange Sky Laundry, Lisa Jamison, shared with guests at the event details of how they can help to support the vulnerable women and children of Mackay.
Safe Sleep Mackay have been fundraising to secure a pink Sleepbus for our region, as well as one in Sarina. This will provide up to 20 beds each night for women and children who are sleeping rough.
Soroptimist International made a contribution of $3000 to the cause after their High Tea fundraiser.
Soroptimist International stated, “Congratulations Mackay community, for raising awareness and taking steps to reduce homelessness.”
Sleep Safe Mackay thanks the women’s organisation and attendees of the event for their tremendous fundraising efforts and community spirit.
