As the holiday season approaches, our hearts are filled with warmth and the spirit of giving. Christmas is a time to come together and make a positive impact in the lives of those less fortunate.
This year, MBC will be supporting Mission Australia for the 3rd year in a row and we are excited to be accepting donations on their behalf at our office in Port Macquarie. Let’s join together in a collective effort to bring joy to families in need by supporting Mission Australia.
Mission Australia‘s integrated nationwide services help people find safe and affordable housing, support disadvantaged children and families, empower troubled young people, assist people with mental illness and disability, and much more.
The holiday season can be an especially challenging time for families facing financial difficulties. Many struggle to provide even the most basic necessities, let alone the extra special moments that make Christmas magical. By donating to Mission Australia, we can contribute to creating memorable experiences for these families.
How You Can Contribute
Mission Australia currently has 28 families they are working with.
