Meals on Wheels celebrate another year with annual
Cairns Meals on Wheels celebrated another year of service to the community with an annual Christmas luncheon for their clients on Wednesday 24 November.
Cairns Meals on Wheels is a volunteer-based community service and has been delivering meals to those in need over the last 52 years.
The annual luncheon is the highlight of the year for their clients, and took place at the Balaclava Hotel on Mulgrave Road.
Cairns Meals on Wheels President Joan Cadman said it was a special occasion for clients, staff and the volunteers who give freely of their time to assist.
“We’d really like to thank Balaclava Hotel for their assistance in providing a venue for this wonderful event”, Ms Cadman said.
“Grace Donnelly, Claire Manning, and Nan Mann also provided sing-along Christmas carols so everyone could get into the festive spirit.“And to add to the fun, the ever-popular Santa made a special appearance!”
Cairns Meals on Wheels, which delivers more than 1,000 meals a week between Gordonvale and Freshwater, always welcomes new clients and volunteers.
