It was lovely on Friday night to join with Meals on Wheels staff, volunteers, and clients, including some of the originals who started the service back in 1963, to celebrate 60 years of amazing service to our community.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Meals on Wheels make it possible for our elderly and frail people to stay in their homes and keep their independence. Whether it be a friendly face calling by to drop off some nutritious meals, transport to an appointment or social interaction, the team is making a difference.
The team is always looking for more volunteers so if you're able to help, even if it's only occasionally, please make contact - https://www.mealsonwheelsdubbo.org.au/about.html
