DONATIONS FOR KOOLEWONG FIRE VICTIMS

The Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has today backed Angel Irwin from Golden Mane Hair Salon in West Street Umina Beach who has offered her business as a ‘drop off’ point to collect good quality clothes for men, women and children who have lost everything in the devasting fires at Koolewong and the surrounding towns on the Central Coast.

“With more than a dozen homes lost to the fires on Saturday, there are many families still in shock who have lost everything”, said Angel Irwin.

“As a way to help, I am offering my place of business as a drop off point for good quality clothes for men, women and children for those Koolewong families who literally have nothing”.

“All donations can be delivered to Golden Mane Hair Salon at 206 West Street, Umina Beach where I can be contacted on 043 228 1115”, said Angel Irwin.

“At this difficult time for those families, both my staff and I would encourage Peninsula residents to help out and rally round our community”

Angel grew up on the Woy Woy Peninsula and like many others, was shocked and heartbroken when watching the images of homes burnt to the ground.  She has run her business for the last five years in Umina Beach where she employs six local young ladies who are all willing to give a hand to assist the Koolewong families.

Peninsula Chamber President Matthew Wales is encouraging other local business to follow Angel Irwin’s example by providing clothing donations.

“This is what local businesses do well. We support our local community in both the good and bad times”, said Matthew Wales.
