Sally ensures people experiencing hardship are met with practical support, dignity and compassion at Mary Mac's Place, our homelessness drop-in centre and community kitchen in Woy Woy.

As the centre's sole support worker, she works alongside 40 volunteers to provide more than 100 meals each day and connect people with vital crisis services and assistance.

For nearly 8 years, Sally has been the key driving force behind the community hub and works tirelessly creating a safe, welcoming space where thousands of people find nourishment, dignity and connection each year.

Prior to joining Mary Mac’s she was in child protection for 17 years in the Out of Home Care sector.

If Sally is fortunate enough to win Westfield hero, the grant will cover Mary Mac's Place running costs, including utilities, food and operations that keep hot meals, showers and laundry services available daily. This is an unfunded service so we rely wholly on donations and grants to keep this essentials service running so please vote for Sally!
