MacKillop Family Services trading as McAuley Community Services for Women Fundraising Raffle | RaffleLink

Supporting McAuley Services for Women and Children

Hummingsong Melbourne choirs, Louella and Allegra, have been supporting McAuley since 2020 with our annual raffle and other fundraising efforts.  Every week we come together to sing and share laughter, life and music, culminating in our annual concert.

Hummingsong has a philosophy of women helping women, and supporting women and children escaping domestic violence. With the cost of living crisis, and record levels of family violence incidents, the fundraising efforts on behalf of our choirs are more important than ever.
