National Meals on Wheels
Day in Morriset
Jodie Harrison our local Mayor came
out to do the meal run with us. It
was a very exciting day where the
mayor volunteers and clients again
recognised the worthiness of Meals
on Wheels.
We would like to congratulate Sue
Daly on the wonderful cake she
made. We heard it not only looked
great but tasted fantastic
Meal on Wheels Iluka
Since August 2011, Meals on
Wheels Iluka has been well
established in our new kitchen at
54 Spenser Street.
As we have room around the outside
of the kitchen the management
committee decided to set up a
community garden. With assistance
from Clarence Community Garden,
we have been given a grant and some
materials to start us on this project.
The community garden is now
progressing well thanks to our
dedicated volunteer workers. We
have space for any community
members who would like to have
some garden space to call their
own. The kitchen has been the main
recipient of our produce so far and
we are hoping to provide more
harvest from the garden in future.
