Ginger Factory shares Easter joy with front-line health workers

WHEN the Ginger Factory received a delivery of 500 freshly baked gingerbread rabbits last week, their first thought was, “Who can we share these sweet treats with to bring a little joy during these tough times?”.

With the healthcare system under pressure from coronavirus, the obvious answer was to donate the Easter goodies to frontline health workers. The Ginger Factory teamed up with well-known local charity, Wishlist, to deliver these delicious gingerbread rabbits to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital where they were made available to the staff to enjoy in their breaks.

“These gingerbread rabbits were specially designed using our famous gingerbread man recipe and are a favourite of our visitors during the Easter school holidays,” said Ginger Factory Tourism Manager Brenda Bailey.

“With everyone now staying safely in their own homes this Easter, we are delighted, with Wishlist’s help, to share these goodies with the hardworking team at SCUH.”

Wishlist is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to fundraising for the needs of the Sunshine Coast Hospital.

“These are unprecedented times, but our Sunshine Coast community can all pull together to help one another,” said Lisa Rowe, Wishlist CEO.

“Our healthcare workers will be pushed to the limit over the coming months, and it’s simple thank you’s like this that can brighten their day.”
