What is the Michael Manion Wool Industry Foundation?
The
foundation was established in 2015 as a reach-out support service for
rural families or children in need.
“Michael
was a larger than life, gregarious person who had empathy for people,” The
MMWIF Board of Directors said.
“During his lifetime in the wool industry he always
went out of his way to mentor and help young people in the trade.”
“We
really want to make a big impact raising funds for the rural community,” they
said.
People
on the land can find it tough at times – they’re at the mercy of the gods and
sometimes children suffer because of it.
This
foundation is here to support rural families in need due to the likes of
illness or accidents.
