The Bowen Community Centre excitedly announced the successful completion of this year’s Adopt a Family program, a heartwarming initiative that brought much-needed joy and relief to 25 deserving families across the Whitsunday community. Through the collective efforts of local organisations, businesses, and individuals, this program has once again proven the power of community spirit and generosity.
This year’s program saw families nominated by a number of local community services, including Cooinda, Whitsunday Counselling Service, Centrecare, Stella Life Care, Girudala Community Centre, Bowen Flexi School, and Bowen State School. These families have faced significant challenges, yet they have shown incredible resilience and dedication in navigating difficult circumstances. The Adopt a Family program provided them with a well-deserved opportunity to experience a brighter, more joyful holiday season.
The success of this initiative would not have been possible without the unwavering support of numerous local organisations and businesses, who donated their time, resources, and financial assistance. Key contributors include the Whitsunday Regional Council, Horseshoe Bay Social Club, Pat McDonnell Earthmoving, Hillrey Group, Stella Life, IGA Peries Bowen, Prices Plus, Bowen Industrial Hire, Aurizon, Zonta Bowen Club, Into Jobs, Idea Placement, and the students of Bowen State High School. Their generosity has ensured that each family received not only gifts and festive essentials but also a sense of hope and community support.
The Bowen community has once again shown its strength and compassion, coming together to ensure that these families could enjoy a special and memorable Christmas. The Bowen Community Centre would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to every individual and organisation who contributed to this meaningful cause, helping to make a positive difference in the lives of those who needed it most.
