Happy Spring everyone!

We are heading towards another warm summer and look forward to offering you our summer menu – of course our salads will be available again on Tuesdays and Thursdays as they continue to be a very popular meal choice.

As usual, please contact us if you have any feedback about the meals – it’s always extremely valuable for us to get any comments from our clients about the meals so please contact the office on 6772 8970 with any feedback you have.

Congratulations to all of our volunteers – we have 100% double-vaccination rates for all staff and active volunteers and we are so proud to be able to say that our service remains safe and reliable for our community.  (more…)

Greetings to all! We hope you are keeping well and warm as we enter the final month of Winter for 2021 – although so often the calendar deceives us in terms of the arrival of Spring!

As we witness the ebb and flow of ongoing COVID restrictions and limitations imposed upon us we just keep on working to provide our clients with a service each day and we rely so much on our wonderful volunteers to be able to make that possible.

We have implemented the mandatory QR Code registration process as well as providing increased sanitization and cleaning procedures.

Everyone is diligently wearing their masks in the office and on deliveries and we thank you all for your patience and persistence during this ongoing challenge.  LOCKDOWN: Thanks everyone for adhering to our NO CONTACT delivery rules and for increased vigilance during lockdown.

The MOW network is a great group of people and we all share our goals to provide high quality services to our community. With the recent lockdowns in the Sydney and metropolitan areas, we were concerned that some of the biggest services in NSW would be struggling with staff shortages, fearful clients, limitations on supplies and all sorts of other logistical issues impacting on their daily operations.  All the regional MOW services were encouraged to send a light-hearted message to our metro colleagues to wish them support at this time. I sent a rather silly photo of myself with a message on my computer screen.

As we move into another chilly winter, we transition into our warmer winter menu items. We hope you are enjoying the new range of meal options.

We continue to receive a large number of new referrals to the service each day which is often the case as winter sets in.  Welcome to all our new clients!

Our intake process requires some robust discussions with clients to ensure we get all the dietary and delivery information we need to provide a great service. We are also glad to report a number of new clients providing glowing feedback about the positive impact our service has on their general well-being and their ability to attend to more enjoyable tasks with their renewed energy!  In addition to that, we  often hear such great reports about how lovely our delivery drivers are. These are the best compliments we can get.  Thank you everyone!

Happy New Year!

I think it’s an obvious statement to say that we all hope for a happy and healthy 2021 – anything would be a vast improvement on 2020.

We experienced some wonderful moments in 2020 as a result of the circumstances we found ourselves in. Some great gestures of generosity and humanity in the midst of all the difficulties faced by communities at a local, national and international level.  As you know from previous newsletters we received many generous donations of goods for our clients and we welcomed new volunteers!
