Hunter Women's Shelter Receives $5000 Donation

BY TANYA DU PREEZ

Maitland domestic violence and homelessness service Carrie's Place has received $5000 in donations from local businessman Guy McKendry.

The donations come in the form of gift vouchers, which clients will be able to exchange for important products for themselves and their children at Rutherford Amcal Pharmacy.

Carrie's Place CEO Jan McDonald says she is pleased with the generosity of the Maitland business community.

"This donation from Guy and his team will mean a lot to the women who use our service," Ms McDonald said.

"Often when our clients leave an abusive relationship they take limited personal products with them, and being able to replace those items is important."
