Small Jar, Big Heart

June 24, 2025

Kindness and community spirit are alive and well at Terry & Mamiko’s Cafe in Cardwell. Their 11th community tip jar has raised $122.35 for the Cardwell SES, a volunteer group dedicated to supporting the region in times of need.

Though it is a small jar, it continues to fill with the generosity of customers. Every coin and note collected goes towards helping local organisations that make a real difference in the community. The SES volunteers certainly appreciate this latest show of support.

The giving does not stop there. The cafe’s 12th community tip jar is now raising funds to support the Velocity Raptors from Gilroy Santa Maria College, Ingham. This talented team will soon head to Germany to compete in the world championships. One of their members is Nate, son of popular local educator Miss Suzette from Cardwell Early Learning.

There is also a donation jar in store to support the Cardwell Country Club’s Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser, ahead of the Pink Party on Saturday 21st of June.

Next time you pop in, why not drop in some spare change? Every little bit goes towards an importand local cause!
