At our meeting we heard of great progress being taken with two new initiatives:
FORaMEAL
Meals packages have now been distributed to seven organisations who are then distributing them to those members of the community who are struggling to put food on the table. Also a meeting has been held with representatives of the Multicultural Commission who have agreed to assist in the distribution process to a number of organisations. Please let Val or Doug know if there is an organisation who would benefit from receiving a distribution of the food packages.
Aged Care Books
The writing of personalised books to be provided to residents in aged care facilities has taken huge strides. There are now about 20 books which have been written and plans are being established about how to make these more readily available to residents and carers at numerous facilities. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in getting this project up and running.
