This month, Orange Sky Laundromat celebrated the OSA laundry services’ six-year anniversary operating in Mackay and Sarina.
The delivery of the service has changed in that time, but the community connections and need for positive conversations has only grown over the years.
The United Apostolic Volunteer Foundation’s mission is ‘Giving Hope, Sharing Grace’, with their members actively committed to giving assistance and compassion to those in need.
UAVF supports many different groups, suffering does not discriminate and actions speak louder than words. All projects are assessed purely on the foundation’s ability to deliver the relief required, and the team endeavour to undertake projects that enable long term viability, and ultimately independence for those being supported.
The foundation held their Family Trivia fundraising event, to support local charity, Orange Sky, as well as two of their international projects, Ukrainian Humanitarian Aid and Kenyan Children in Need.
Whilst there was some competitive team spirit for the trivia prizes, the generosity of the community in donating prizes and that of the participants bidding on auction items and other fundraising activities on the day, was phenomenal.
All money raised was donated to the charities, with Orange Sky as a major beneficiary, receiving an eleven thousand dollar donation to support the growth of services in Mackay and Sarina.
UAVF members, Lyle and Alan visited Orange Sky to meet the volunteers, who shared their gratitude for the donation they received.
With appreciation for UAVF for their generous support to the growth of Orange Sky services, Bev, the Trivia Team Captain, presented them with an appreciation certificate.
There is still a growing need for services, but it is something that Orange Sky couldn’t deliver without support from the wider community.
