Raffle proceeds buy food for Mary Mac's
Deepwater Older Women's Network has used the proceeds of its "very successful raffle fundraiser at Christmas" to buy food for Mary Mac's Place in Woy Woy,
Co-ordinator Ms Genelle Solomon and secretary Ms Jennifer Brown presented their food shop to project worker Ms. Sally Baker.
Ms Baker said she was delighted to replenish her larder as the centre was running short of staple items needed for their rough sleepers.
"Deepwater Older Women's Network will be doing a series of food purchases during the first half of the year to help the Centre cater to their regulars," said Ms Brown.
She said the Deepwater group advocated for the rights, dignity and wellbeing of older women in the community and supported Mary Mac's, Care4Coast and Allawah House, an initiative to get homeless women into affordable accommodation.
