Mackay Red Shield Appeal Christmas Event

About
Christmas should be a season of joy, hope, and togetherness, yet for many families in Mackay, it can also be a season of struggle. This event is about coming together as a community to make a difference.Funds raised will provide food hampers and gifts for families doing it tough and support year-round programs such as emergency relief for those experiencing hardship and running the Positive Lifestyle Program in local high schools, giving young people hope and resilience.
By joining us, you’ll share a meal and make a real difference in Mackay, this Christmas and all year round.
We are delighted to welcome Andrew Matthews as our special guest.
A Cairns-based motivational speaker and best-selling author, Andrew’s books, including Being Happy! and Bouncing Back, have sold over 8 million copies in 43 languages. Renowned for his humor, storytelling, and cartoons, Andrew has inspired audiences worldwide, and his message will make this event both uplifting and memorable.
