Q C W A Kilcoy Branch

The Kilcoy branch of the QCWA was always active with fund raising efforts directed towards the needs of the community, including supporting the maternity wing at the hospital, starting a tuckshop at the primary school, supporting a child into Montrose Home, cardiophone for the Kilcoy Hospital, food parcels for the POWs and organising a rural school.
The Hostel was added in 1955. It was originally built for waiting mothers. The hostel has been used to accommodate working women and teachers. Today many people use the hostel for short stays including training nurses and temporary school teachers. It is also used for protective accommodation for abuse victims and emergency accommodation during flood times.
QCWA meetings are held in the hall the 2nd Thursday of each month, Hoy is played the 3rd Thursday of each month. The card group meets here every Wedesday and Hospital visits remain part of regular branch activities.
Our members feel the aims and objectives of 1924 are the same for today......To benefit the lives of not only women and children, but families and to give friendship and comfort o all at all times.
