A local woman's heartfelt gesture has left the Mackay community in awe, after demonstrating an act of compassion during a time that is challenging for others.
Last Tuesday, the woman reached out on a community Facebook page, looking for someone in need to take her leftover food before her work trip. She expressed a preference for sharing with others rather than freezing the food for herself or throwing it away.
With many struggling with the rising living costs, her generous offer reflects a deep sense of empathy and understanding.
"Really not sure if I should post this or not, but it breaks my heart to see so many people struggling to even feed themselves," she shared.
“I am going away tomorrow for work and have a few servings left of Jamaican chicken and rice I cooked last night as well as a raw chicken breast (opened yesterday left over from making it) and wondered if anyone would like to grab it tonight?
“I can also throw a few other items in like some left over ham, yoghurt to make it worth the trip.”
Her willingness to share rather than let the food go to waste demonstrates genuine care towards supporting those facing difficulties.
"I can’t bring myself to throw it out when I know so many people are struggling," she explained.
Her thoughtful actions have since sparked conversations about community support, encouraging others to consider how they too can make a difference in the lives of those around them.
