๐Ÿ’œ Purple Day for a Cause ๐Ÿ’œ
The Community House had a great time supporting the Mid-South Island Women's Refuge & Family Safety Services by having a shared morning tea, with everything purple of course! With purple outfits and delicious purple treats, it was a fun way to support a great cause.
All donations from our morning tea are going to the Womenโ€™s Refuge. A huge thank you to Amelia, our Community House Operations Coordinator, for organising and bringing it all together.
Thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make the morning a success.
