Filling our Buckets of Love

The 89th Convention for Quota International is being hosted in Brisbane and the Service-on-Site project planned for this year is Buckets of Love.

Quota International is partnering with the Combined Women’s Refuge Group to support women’s shelters for women and children victims of domestic violence. Two representatives from Combined Women’s Refuge Group will attend on Sunday morning to receive Quota’s “Buckets of Love” and tell us a little of their work.

Quota Carindale has painted their bucket, making it look extra special, thanks to a very talented niece of one of the Quotarians.

It has now been filled with light women's night wear, children's pyjamas, children's books, games and puzzles.



Build a Bear fun

Another successful holiday program for children was held yesterday at Build-A-Bear Carindale. Great to see the children having such fun filling their bear and picking out the clothes to dress the bear to take home.


 This is what the children made.

We came second - thank you Grill'd



Grill’d Carindale love to give back to the local communities. Every month Grill’d will donate $300 to the local community you have selected. Grilled Carindale is located on the ground floor of Westfield Carindale, opposite Coles. It is open from 10.30 am to 10.00 pm seven days a week.

With each  purchase everyone receives a token to place in one of the 3 charity jars.  Quota Carindale was one of the charity jars this month!  The jar with the most tokens at the end of the month wins $300.

Buckets of Love

Quota International has a yearly convention and is hosted world wide.
This year everyone will be heading to Australia.
At every convention a Service-on-Site project is planned and this year, Quotarians will help to provide Sound Beginnings for Children in South East Queensland. Quota International is partnering with the Combined Women’s Refuge Group to support women’s shelters for women and children victims of domestic violence. Two representatives from Combined Women’s Refuge Group will attend on Sunday morning at general session to receive Quota’s “Buckets of Love” and tell us a little of their work.

These buckets have been filled with items such as light women's night wear, children's pyjamas, children's books, games and puzzles. Quota Carindale felt they would make their bucket a little bit extra special by hand painting it.


Let’s all help to make our “Buckets of Love” a project that will empower women and children at a time in their lives when support is needed most.
