Donna Collins truly wears her heart on her sleeve.
She strives to help the Mudgee Community in any way she can to make life a little better for those that may need a helping hand.
We Care Community Shop was born as a result of Donna's dream to help as many people as possible.
This year has been extremely tough for so many people, and has unfortunately followed a long few years of extreme drought.
Donna has organised many behind the scenes assistance services throughout the duration of this year. Some of these are:
- Our seniors food program during lockdown with youfoodz
- Families needing support during lockdown
- Welfare visits
- Senior hampers
- Food and toy hampers
- Continual support of programs for locals occurring weekly
- Commonwealth Bank and Telstra supporting us with wishing trees
- Helping with the community affected by fires
- Organising seniors care packages
- Horse rescue
And, many more projects that have helped our local surroundings communities.
Donna's the first one to step forward to help anyone whenever she can, she is just an amazing quiet achiever.
Thank you Donna for everything you do.
