This week the group donated $500 to two not-for-profit support services in Bowral, using money raised throughout the last financial year.
Long-serving member Maureen Fleming presented the cheques on Tuesday, August 8.
The first cheque was given to Suzi Kenny of Stafford Cottage, who said the money would go toward helping a low-income family enter their child into a community sport program.
A second cheque was granted to the Wingecarribee Adult Day Centre in Bowral, which provides a vibrant social space for frail and ageing members of the community.
The centre is currently trying to raise $300 000 to expand and renovate their building to accommodate more members. The CWA’s donation brings their current total to just under $150 000.
Many community support services run exclusively on donations and consider the aid of the CWA invaluable.
