💕 Happy Mother’s Day From All Of Us At Whitsunday Foodbank 💕

Today we celebrate the mums, grandmothers, carers, step mums, foster mums and all the incredible women who show love, strength and kindness every single day 💐

Mother’s Day can look different for everyone.
For some it’s a day filled with joy and celebration, while for others it may feel a little heavy. No matter what today looks like for you, we hope you know you are seen, valued and appreciated 🤍

To the mums doing their best through tough times…
To the women helping hold families together…
And to those missing someone special today…

We’re thinking of you all 💚

Wishing you a day filled with love, kindness and little moments that make you smile.

Love,
The Whitsunday Foodbank Team

🚨 OUR SELF CONTROL HAS LEFT THE BUILDING 🚨

$5 CARTONS OF LOLLIES?!
Yeah… we probably shouldn’t have opened these boxes either 🍭😂

From sour sprays to twist dip licks, mega sour rollers, candy bags and more… it’s basically a sugar-fuelled childhood dream over here 🤪

💥 JUST $5 PER CARTON 💥
(yes… actual cartons 👀)

Be quick before the kids spot them… or before the adults buy them all first 😅

👕 Boys clothing – sizes 2–3
👕 Boys clothing – size 8
👗 Women’s clothing – approx. 14–16
👚 Teen girls clothing – approx. women’s 6–8

I’ll pop everything out on a table out the back - so just take what you need 🤍

Feeling grateful today 🤍

We had a visit from Nate and his dad, and while he was here, Nate spotted a certificate of appreciation from his school on our wall.

We explained that we donate bread for their breakfast club… and without hesitation, he thanked us with the most genuine, beautiful manners.

Then we found out he’s School Captain 👏

We’re so proud of a young boy we only just met. Nate, you are an absolute credit to your family and your school.

If more kids grew up with your kindness and respect, the world would truly be a better place 💛

It’s moments like this that remind us how lucky we are to have such kind families and amazing kids visiting us in store!

*DISCLAIMER… We have approval from his dad to post this picture!
