Volunteer receives Fair Go award

A Mary Mac's Place volunteer has been awarded a Pride of Australia Medal in the Fair Go category.

The Fair Go category is for an Australian permanent resident or citizen, born overseas, who has enriched Australia through their community involvement, hard work and willingness to embrace their new home.

Mr Steve Petras was born in Egypt and came to Australia at the age of 14.

He volunteers two days a week at Mary Mac's Place in Woy Woy and helps provide meals and welfare support for the homeless and disadvantaged.

His community support continues with another two days of volunteer work with Meals on Wheels, which he has performed for the past seven years.
