CWA stall supports wildlife

The Queensland Country Women’s Association Tewantin-Noosa Branch recently hosted their Christmas Street Stall in support of local animal rescue service Wildlife Noosa. Members offered baked goods in the air-conditioned CWA Hall, while outside, tables of plants, succulents, quality second-hand items and handmade craft items proved enticing.

“The Christmas Stall was our last stall of the year and it was extremely popular. We always have reliable support from Noosa Council, Australia Post and Parkyn’s Hut, but this stall we also had lots of visits from local businesspeople keen to bring back morning tea to their workmates,” branch president Leigh McCready said.

“The team from Wildlife Noosa were with us all morning to answer questions from locals about how many animals they rescue every year (up to 10 each day!), where they take the animals (Australia Zoo, Eumundi Wildlife Centre and The Twinnies Seabird Rescue) and what donations are spent on (fuel, food for the animals and rescue equipment).

“We’d like to say a big thank you to William, Jarrah and the team from Wildlife Noosa for their ongoing support of local animals in need of help. Noosa is home to many endangered and threatened wildlife and without organisations such as yours, we would have even fewer.”

Donations can be made to Wildlife Noosa via wildlifenoosa.com.au/

The next QCWA Stall will be at the Lions Community Festival on Australia Day.
