The generosity of the Mackay community in the leadup to Christmas was commendable. Thousands of hampers, toys and other goodies were donated and distributed to organisations who help those in need, however that need doesn’t diminish along with the Christmas tree for another year.
Mayor Greg Williamson recently presented Lorraine Wirth, Manager of Community Accommodation and Support Agency (CASA) Mackay, a donation of $1200.
This donation was money saved from printing and sending hard copy Christmas cards, as the council opted to send eCards again this year.
It is a good opportunity to remember that organisations such as CASA rely on donations throughout the year, to support those in our community who need food and shelter.
The community is invited to support CASA by sending donations of non-perishable items to their office, or by donating via their website www.casamackay.org.au
