THE Coffs Harbour Women’s Shed Project hosted a successful community BBQ fundraiser on Friday 7 November, raising $913 to support Warrina Domestic and Family Violence Specialist Services.
A top-up donation made by Coffs Harbour Lions Club rounded it up to $1000.
Held on the front lawn at their new headquarters, 41 Gordon Street, the event brought together members of the community, local support services, and survivors of domestic violence, many of whom shared how the service at Warrina had provided support and made a difference in their lives.
Coffs City Mayor Nikki Williams promoted and celebrated the event which helped spread awareness about the BBQ and the overall project.
“It was incredible to see so many people come to support this important cause, chatting, connecting, and sharing stories and ideas,” Coffs Harbour Women’s Shed Project Committee member Alex Miller told News Of The Area.
“The generosity and kindness displayed was very heartwarming.”
The Committee thanked local businesses who donated provisions for the BBQ: Big Country Meats, Coles Coffs Harbour, Bakers Delight Coffs Harbour, Decadent Donuts, She Brews, and Hayley Ollington.
Coffs Harbour Lions Club provides ongoing support for the project.
