A big thankyou to all our donors!
INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS' DAY BARBECUE
WORTH THE WAIT!
Our new dishwasher is up and running.
Finally after lots of effort and the wonderful support of Kennedy Masonic Lodge and their charity arm, Hand Heart Pocket, our brand new dishwasher is now fully operational. What a wonderful help for our volunteers! It is so easy to use and is efficient, fast and hygienic! Thanks also to Darcy Lowcock Plumbing and Jaryd Lindsay for their wonderful donation of work on the installation and Ralph from Reward Hospitality and Adam from AdFab Cannonvale for supplying the unit and stainless fittings. And we must also mention our new greasetrap which was funded by Whitsunday Regional Council, was installed by John Fortunato who did a fantastic job!
THANKYOU LIONS LADIES
Another wonderful donation
Once again the Bowen Lions Ladies have given us a generous donation toward our running costs. We know that it has been very difficult for local charities to continue their fund-raising efforts in the last twelve months so we are extremely grateful to the Lions Ladies for their continuing support.
A VERY KIND DONATION
Thankyou Reckitt Benckiser & Woolworths

A WONDERFUL DONATION
Great news!!! We have just received funding from Hand Heart Pocket which will enable us to purchase a commercial dishwasher for our kitchen. This donation comes to us thanks to the wonderful ongoing support we receive from Kennedy Lodge, Bowen Freemasons, who initiated the application to their Queensland charity arm. Staff, volunteers and clients are very grateful for this fantastic support. We eagerly wait to be able to post photos of the new dishwasher in action.
