A ladies lunch has raised more than $100,000 for Geelong Mums.
It’s a massive financial boost to the charity, which rehomes pre-loved children’s goods to families in need.
Last financial year alone, Geelong Mums supported more than 6000 babies and children.
The not-for-profit organisation relies on donations of baby and children’s items from the community, and monetary donations.
For the past four years, the organisation has held an annual Mother’s Day luncheon which has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This year, the ladies lunch at Mt Duneed Estate Winery raised an incredible $107,000.
“It means a lot for this place – that sort of money goes a long way,” Geelong Mums teamwork coordinator Kelly Suvoltos said.
“Cots and car seats are purchased with that money … if we don’t have those things being donated we purchase those.”
