Established locally by Casey Whitehouse, it is a branch of a national charity dedicated to improving maternal mental health.

Every month, volunteers supply hampers of donated goods and services to young and deserving families.

Recipients are nominated by members of the community and must live in Lake Cathie, Bonny Hills, North Haven, Laurieton, Dunbogan, Wauchope or Port Macquarie.

Also on the list of finalists is Moorland Cottage and Cafe, which is known for its scones and freely roaming chooks.

It automatically qualified after winning at the Mid Coast Business Awards.

It is now up for Employer of Choice (Under 20 Employees) and Outstanding Visitor Experience.

If it wins Employer of Choice, it will also be eligible for Business of the Year.
