Noosa support groups celebrate donations

Local bank employees have donated $500 to Tewantin-Noosa Meals on Wheels and Hoofbeats Sanctuary.

Commonwealth Bank has again pledged to donate $500,000 nationally, to recognise those organisations that make a difference to the communities in which they operate.

Each Commonwealth Bank branch and customer-facing team has been allocated $500 to donate to causes important to their local community.

Commonwealth Bank’s Noosa and Tewantin branch teams voted to support the great work of these local organisations.

“Many communities across Australia face ongoing challenges as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, so it’s important for us to give back to local organisations who continue to do good work within our community. We are pleased to support these amazing local groups,” Wayne Carroll, Commonwealth Bank Noosa Branch Manager said.

“Both of these local organisation are doing amazing things. Meals on Wheels are delivering meals to locals in need and the Hoofbeats Sanctuary runs programs with horses and ponies to support people of all ages who have been impacted by trauma, neglect or abuse. It’s great to be able to support them in this great work.”
