Street stall builds women’s housing

The Tewantin-Noosa Branch of the Queensland CWA held their highly anticipated street stall recently, aimed at raising funds for housing for vulnerable local women.

Leigh McCready, president at Tewantin Noosa CWA said, “The event was a delightful experience for everyone, while supporting a meaningful initiative to create positive change for local families.”

“This fundraising initiative is committed to providing safe and secure housing for women facing homelessness, domestic violence, and other challenging circumstances.

“With an increasing need for affordable and stable housing, the CWA seeks to address a pressing issue and make a positive difference in the lives of local women in the 55-plus age demographic.

“Our street stall is always popular, with a wide variety of delectable treats prepared with love and care by talented members of the CWA. From freshly baked cookies and scones to mouth-watering cakes and delicious chutneys and jams, there was something to satisfy every taste.”

“Home-grown succulents and crafty homewares also proved extremely popular with our customers.

“The funds raised from the Street Stall will contribute the CWA’s continuing efforts to provide additional secure and affordable housing options for local women, building on the two existing units we currently offer.

“Those who came along to show their support actively contributed to making a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most.

“The Tewantin Noosa CWA extends its gratitude to the community for their continued support and help. For further information about the project or to learn more about getting involved, contact us via Facebook or on email at tewantinnoosaqcwa@gmail.com,” Ms McCready said.
