Wilmar Sweetens The Holidays For Hospital Staff

In the spirit of giving this festive season, a heart-warming tradition continues as Wilmar Sugar and Renewables' dedicated team spread joy at Ayr and Home Hill Health Services.

A small and thoughtful team of Wilmar employees delivered cupcakes to Home Hill on Thursday, December 14 and Ayr on Tuesday, December 19, brightening the day of the hardworking hospital staff.

This act of kindness isn't new for Wilmar, as it marks six years of their pre-Christmas goodwill gesture.

Originally starting with a sausage sizzle for Ayr Hospital's team and sweet treats for Home Hill Hospital, the initiative has evolved to solely delivering delightful cupcakes in the face of COVID-19 restrictions.

Expressing their gratitude for the exceptional care provided by frontline health workers, the company has expanded their generosity to Ingham, Proserpine, and Sarina hospitals, ensuring that the festive cheer extends across communities where their sugar mills operate.

This heart-warming gesture highlights the company's commitment to recognising and supporting the invaluable efforts of healthcare heroes during these challenging times.
