Carolyn, Roel and Marja enjoying the Parkes Meals On Wheels Luncheon.
Last week, Meals on Wheels (MOW) hosted their regular Community Luncheons, where their volunteers, clients, board and staff all came together for a casual luncheon. This month, the luncheon was held at the Parkes Service Club.
Every Meals on Wheels service across Australia prides itself on offering ‘More than Just a Meal’. Our Parkes Meals on Wheels service offers support and wellness checks to every valuable client, and peace of mind to family and friends that their loved ones are being cared for by this wonderful service.
It is not uncommon for the Meals on Wheels volunteers to be the the only person their clients will see for that day.
Having a caring volunteer bring a freshly cooked meal, engage in a daily conversation, asking that person if they are ok, and simply caring about that person and their well being, is what Meals on Wheels has always been about.
MOW luncheons and community events are another way of helping to decrease social isolation within our community. Everyone who attended had a terrific time, enjoyed a delicious meal and tested their brains over a game of trivia.
The next community event will be held on the 9 April at the Peak Hill Bowling Club.
This event will be a community luncheon and information event, showcasing the wonderful service that Meals on Wheels offers to Peak Hill residents. If you would like to attend, please contact the office on 02 6862 6189 or simply turn up on the day.
