What a morning! The community came together in spectacular fashion on Sunday, raising an incredible $5,019.90 at the Friendly Faces Helping Hands Bake Sale at The Coffee Incident café.
The energy was electric as locals streamed through the doors, enjoying home-baked treats, barista coffees, and a sizzling bacon brioche BBQ — all while supporting a wonderful cause.
Organisers say costs were minimal thanks to the generosity of many:
-
Local bakers who donated their finest creations.
-
Reg and Lorraine Miller, who supplied all the milk for coffees.
-
Bruce Family Butchery, who donated the bacon for the BBQ.
-
A dedicated café team (plus a few “honorary members”) who volunteered their Sunday to make it all run smoothly.
-
Kylie McCarthy, who jumped in to sell raffle tickets for the charity hampers.
The result? A massive fundraising success — and a proud moment for Glen Innes.
Funds raised go directly to the Friendly Faces Helping Hands Foundation, created by Kel Foran, which supports families facing medical hardship.
The excitement now turns to the next big event: the Bridgerton Charity Ball, set for 25 October in Glen Innes. It promises glamour, fun, and more vital fundraising.
