Our History
Legacy of Olive Annabelle Mawhinney
Olive’s Branch is named in honour of Olive Mawhinney, who was very involved with several charities throughout her lifetime and believed in the importance of giving back. In 1994 Olive heard about AWAC opening and it soon became one of her favourite charities. Over the years, Olive donated clothing, bedding, household goods, and every year she made a financial donation which she delivered in person. It was always a joy to see Olive and her beautiful smile.
