Good evening all,Wow, what a great start we had to our monthly meal service at Cornerstone!
My sincere thanks go to our generous members who donated money to
provide the funds to purchase the meals, our fantastic team of
volunteers, Kam, Martin, Graeme & Hans and of course Frank & his team
at Charcoal Chicken/Flounders Fish & Chips Endeavour Hills.
I'd also like to thank those of you who have volunteered to be on our
Roster for the meal service. The roster will be sent out one week
prior to each meal service.
The 46 meals provided last night were very generous in size, excellent
quality and well packed in containers which kept the food warm.
Frank gave us fantastic value for money and donated the gravy and 2
slabs of water. He also delivered the order personally to Cornerstone.
It is really nice to think we were able to support a local business
during these extremely difficult times.
I'm pretty sure that all in attendance would agree that we left
Cornerstone feeling very satisfied that we were able to provide a warm
and nutritious meal to those in need, who may have otherwise gone
hungry that night.
The meal provided consisted of Chicken, chips, peas, carrots & gravy
or a Vegetarian Souvlaki with chips, home-made cupcakes & a snack size
kit-kat for dessert, along with fresh fruit & a drink.
The recipients of the delicious meals were delighted and thankful,
they were also very impressively 'social distancing'.
We still have some funds in the charity account to help cover the next
meal service. I’ll start sending out letters to local businesses over
the next week or so, in the hope of getting some donations or
discounts for items to assist with keeping our costs for the meal
service down.
If any of you have any contacts, please let me know. I have a letter
of support from Naomi at Cornerstone which we are able to use when
seeking donations.
It is fantastic to have such a supportive, enthusiastic club and to be
out there in the community making a difference to the lives of those
in need.
On a final note, if you're looking for a great take-away meal, please
check out Frank's business. Whether it be the Charcoal chicken, fish
& chips, burgers, souvlaki or salads, they are by far the best in the
area.
Please check out the photos from last Thursday night.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Kind regards,
