Caring has the remarkable ability to transform the ordinary into something truly special.
The ambulatory and elective care team at Mackay Base Hospital exemplifies this sentiment by coming together to support those in their community who need it most. In response to a heartfelt request from Chances House Mackay, which supports vulnerable individuals and families dealing with crises like homelessness and hunger, the committed team promptly sprang into action to create a positive impact.
With compassion and determination, they collected an array of food donations. Partnering with Woolworths Ooralea, the team assembled an impressive basket filled with non-perishable items. This generous contribution was delivered to Chances last week, reflecting the spirit of giving that defines their commitment to the community.
Unfortunately, homelessness remains a pressing issue, impacting many in the region. The compassionate actions of the hospital staff aim not only to provide immediate relief to those in need but also to raise awareness about the challenges faced by vulnerable individuals and families in Mackay.
Through their efforts, the ambulatory and elective care team is not only offering support but also shining a light on the importance of caring for one another in the community.
A spokesperson from the ambulatory and elective care team commented: “Our very generous staff hope this donation provides some relief to those in need, but also helps raise awareness and prompts others to consider those in our region who are less fortunate.”
