ALISON HUNTER

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)— Alison Hunter has made significant contributions to the Maitland community through her exemplary customer service and fundraising efforts at Maddies of Bolwarra. The fresh delicious food, coffee, and overall atmosphere is one not to miss on any visit to Maitland. Alison is also generously supports community fundraising events across areas of need such as disability, unemployment and homelessness. She not only provides the same level of hospitality to these charity events but contributes by pricing the event so the optimum funds are raised to assist the particular cause. Alison is generous and respectful to individuals and groups who are the recipients of the funds being raised. During the difficult period of COVID lockdowns Alison was able to pivot her business to provide service to the community with a focus on convenience and flexibility. In addition to her professional contribution to many organisations, Alison employed and continues to employ local people and is a genuine and kind person. I acknowledge Alison's contribution to supporting worthy causes in the Maitland community.
