After a very successful raffle fundraiser at Christmas, Deepwater Older Women’s Network (OWN) has handed over a large donation of food to Mary Mac’s Place in Woy Woy.
OWN Co-ordinator Genelle Solomon and Secretary Jennifer Brown presented the food to Mary Mac’s project worker Sally Baker.
Baker said she was delighted to replenish the larder as the centre was running short of staple items needed for rough sleepers.
Deepwater OWN will be doing a series of food purchases during the first half of the year to help the centre cater to regulars.
Deepwater OWN advocates for the rights, dignity and wellbeing of older women in the community and supports Mary Mac’s, Care4Coast and Allawah House, an initiative to get homeless women into affordable accommodation.
