Baking for Charity at Community Festival

Brisbane Taiwanese Uniting Church in Australia organised a stall at the recent Taiwan Festival at Calamvale Community College on 6 & 7 September 2013. 

Irene Kuo said fellow congregation member Amy Liu organised the church to be visible and give something back to the community. Volunteers were recruited in just 4 weeks to man the stall at the 2 day festival and bake home made goods to raise money in the Australian Red Cross "Big Cake Bake". All their cakes and biscuits sold out before the end of the second day and they raised a total of $2,068 well above their target of $300. 

Overall reactions were positive to the church as they also promoted their new premises at the former Hillcrest Uniting Church after outgrowing their old buildings in Moorooka.
