Earlier this month, Rosemary McMahon and Desleigh Volpato, on behalf of the Zonta Club of Stanthorpe, were very happy to donate funds to Protea Place from money raised at a recent Black and White Charity Dinner held at the International Club.
Funds were also allocated to local charities The Stanthorpe Cancer Support Group and Boomerang Bags.
Protea Place has supported over 1200 women so far this year, as a day centre to assist homeless women.
It provides clothing and meal packs, toiletry packs, housing support, laundry and shower facilities as well as domestic family violence support.
They provide assistance in finding training to improve chances of employment, thereby improving their financial outcomes.
Protea Place is all about empowering women. They will have their major fundraiser for the year on 9 October, an 80s Glitz and Glamour Progressive Dinner, which will help to keep these important doors open for women in need.
