25.01.2022 Coles Distribution Centre donates enough food to provide an estimated 3,687 school children with a healthy breakfast. The Coles DC out at Forest Lake have very kindly donated a 2nd pallet of breakfast program foods. A huge thank you to Coles DC and their team of staff who carefully sorted and packed the food! The YMCA couldnt do what it does without such generous support. YMCA Brisbane, YMCA Acacia Ridge Gymnastics , YMCA Social Impact Logan Gary Adsett

25.01.2022 YMCA Schools Breakfast Program staff, volunteers, supported schools and students would like to extend their sincere condolences to Rons family, friends and fellow Lions Club Members. Rons support of and contribution to the YMCA Op Shop and the YMCA Schools Breakfast Program over the past few years has been one of great significance and impact. What Ron has done for the YMCA will live on in the lives of all the children and adults who benefited from the Lions Clubs support and Rons determination to go the extra mile to help whenever and however he could. We are so honored to have been blessed by Rons love and support. May you RIP Ron! YMCA OP SHOP YMCA Brisbane
