Our amazing gift wrapping volunteers raised a huge $5,472 this year — an outstanding outcome that will make a real difference 💙

A massive thank you to Kathy & Berta from Mount Pleasant Centre for once again allowing us to set up our stall and supporting this wonderful initiative.

And to all of the generous, special people who gave their time, energy, and smiles to help make this possible — we truly couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for your incredible support and community spirit ✨

🎅CHRISTMAS IS NEAR ~
Doing some last minute shopping?
Don’t forget, there are many groups raising funds for some fantastic charities across our wonderful electorate, by taking the chore of wrapping our Christmas presents 🎁 off our hands! All that is asked for in return is a kind donation 💶
This week I was at Mount Pleasant Centre where every dollar donated goes to the Mackay Hospital Foundation.
Merry Christmas 🎄💝

🎄✨ A heartfelt thank you to our generous community partners ✨🎄

We would like to extend a huge thank you to Harrup Park for their incredibly generous donation of toys for children attending Mackay Hospital and Health Service over the Christmas period.

Thanks to the team for their kindness and community spirit, many children will experience a little extra joy, comfort, and magic during what can be a challenging time away from home. 🎁💖

Support like this truly makes a difference — reminding our youngest patients and their families that they are cared for by a community that has their backs.

From all of us, thank you for helping us spread smiles this Christmas. 🌟

🧡 Orange Ladies at Mackay Base Hospital 🧡
We are incredibly proud to support the powerful message behind “Zonta Says NO to Domestic Violence.”

Thanks to our partnership with Zonta Club of Mackay, the striking Orange Ladies were placed throughout Mackay Base Hospital — a bold reminder that our community stands united against domestic and family violence.

These installations spark conversations, raise awareness, and honour those affected.
At My Hospital Foundation, we’re committed to supporting initiatives that make our hospital a safer, more compassionate place for everyone.

🧡 Together, we say NO.
🧡 Together, we stand with survivors.
🧡 Together, we create change.
