A massive effort from @MetriconHomes’ Metricon/Canteen Vic Cycle 2022.
$240,000 raised to support young people living with cancer and 2500 free counselling sessions for young people all across Australia.
Canteen’s work wouldn’t be possible without support such as Metricon’s.
This crisis needs support right now. The great people at UNHCR are providing it but need help. MCB will match your donation so you're giving double the benefit. So easy to donate using the link, it takes seconds...
📣 UNHCR do amazing work.
They're on the ground today & will be the last to leave. They need a lot more than $30k.
Let's see if we can get this started.
Annie & I will match the first $1 MILLION raised for UNHCR Afghanistan via @BenQuilty 's campaign below.
Double your $!
