ONCE a year the Red Cross holds a ‘BigCakeBake’ to raise money to help people going through tough times, but also to connect with loved ones or colleagues, share a laugh, and have a chat.

“This year our branch decided to have a cake stall which was a ‘piece of cake’ but much more,” said Adele McCollom, Nambucca Valley, Red Cross Emergency Services.

The Nambucca Heads Red Cross Branch held their ‘BigCakeBake’ on Tuesday 17 October at Marion’s Red Cross Tea House in Bowra Street.

“Many members provided a range of delightful items of home-baked goodies that were reasonably priced and freshly baked.

“Normally the Tea House is closed on Tuesday but Irene opened the doors for this special occasion,” Adele said.

“Shoppers passing by could purchase from the stall tables out the front of the teahouse, or if you felt like a coffee or tea table service was available inside.

“Our thanks to the many volunteers from the Branch who donated their time and skill to provide a truly remarkable mix of items for sale.

“The Branch is fortunate to have such a group of people who are very active, often behind the scenes.

“A very special ‘thank you’ to you, our community, who were so very supportive of this fundraising event and who took home and enjoyed the pleasures of home-baking.”

The Branch acknowledges the ongoing generosity of the people of the Nambucca Valley who play an active role in helping the Red Cross and communities in times of need.
