The North Mackay Bowls Club Ladies have shown a generous spirit by clearing out their former club uniform shirts to support those in need.
Since merging with the men's team and adopting a new club shirt, numerous high-quality garments - some never worn - have been left unused in closets. Rather than letting these shirts sit idle, the club decided to donate them to a third-world country, where they will be put to good use.
Helen Fleming, the club’s Ladies Secretary, expressed her amazement at the number of shirts collected, with many in pristine condition.
“It was unbelievable how many shirts came to light, some have never been worn,” she noted, grateful for the members' willingness to contribute to the project.
The initiative was brought to fruition with the help of Ladies President Lidia McCarthy, Vice President Hilary Jones-Rowan and Secretary Helen Fleming. Together, they organised the collection and arranged for the garments to be sent off. St Vincent de Paul generously agreed to ship the shirts, ensuring they reach their new home where they can make a real difference.
Through this donation, they are helping provide clothing to those in need, showing that even the smallest acts of kindness can mean the world to someone else.
How can you make a difference in somebody’s life today?
