Christmas at the Refuge

Since the 1990’s our Club has supported women and children staying at a refuge over the Christmas period as well as for Mother’s Day. In 2024 we again provided a washing basket packed full with Christmas goodies and a voucher for the women to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables. Each woman received a gift from the Club and the children were provided with gifts that they could wrap to gift their Mother. Many thanks to Bunnings Rocklea who donated the washing baskets, the staff and student at QASMT for their donations and of course out Club members who donate items, shop, wrap the presents and then deliver them in time for Christmas. Many thanks to all.
