Kindness Flows From Currajong Kitchen

It might not always make the headlines, but during difficult times acts of unconditional kindness are what makes life for everyone better.

This week’s feel good story comes from the Currajong Disability Services (CDS) kitchen. CDS participants Chris and Jason Spicer decided to bake cakes to show their gratitude and appreciation for all the front- line workers at Parkes Hospital.

“It’s a tremendous gesture from our guys and something they really wanted to do,” said Dane Millerd of CDS.

“As an organisation, I know I am not alone when I say that there are many ways we want to help,” said Dane.

The act of giving didn’t go unnoticed with the Parkes Hospital staff praising the effort and kind token of support by posting a Thank You photo.

“It was our way of giving back to the community and also showing our appreciation to front line medical staff who do so much for us,” said Indigo Kriedemann of CDS.

“We are hoping to continue this and assist other community groups where we can, especially in the current environment,” Indigo said.

The Parkes Ambulance Service were also beneficiaries of Currajong’s cake baking and cooking courtesy of Heather Coates and Donna Apps. The treats were dropped off last Monday and well-received by the ambulance officers.
