At Cornetts Supermarkets we love to help our local communities and continually strive to give back. From supporting local schools and sporting clubs to community groups and charity fundraisers we love to get involved.
RMHC North Australia are an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing vital programs for families with ill children. Ronald McDonald House Charities North Australia opened their state-of-the-art Ronald McDonald House adjacent to Townsville University Hospital in 2004, offering a place to stay for over 100 people a night. Through their accommodation and support services, they strive to Keep Families Close when life gets turned upside down due to a child’s illness.
Cornetts Supermarkets have supported Guide Dog Queensland since 2012, raising well over $160,000 for the Charity. So far the money raised has enabled Cornetts to sponsor three litters of puppies into guide dog training program. Cornetts will continue to support Guide Dogs Queensland through their annual Golf Day and are proud to be a major sponsor to such a valuable service for the visually impaired.
Guide Dogs Queensland provides Queenslanders who are blind or vison impaired freedom, mobility and independence through its orientation and mobility services.
The Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride raises money for children living in rural and remote areas of North Queensland.
