Local Stars Deliver Deliciousness With Ingham Meals On Wheels

Kicking off 2026 with community spirit, local celebrities Paul Ettore Tabone, his mother Monica Tabone, their friend Renaud, and Mayor Ramon Jayo joined Ingham Meals on Wheels to deliver meals to residents.

“Home for Christmas… but that didn’t stop Paul Ettore Tabone and Renaud from putting their hands up to do some deliveries to our local community,” said Ingham Meals on Wheels. “Nothing beats when locals come back to their hometown for the holidays."

Paul Tabone reflected on the importance of the service; "Meals on Wheels delivers hot meals to older residents, people with disability, and those who are unable to cook for themselves. In regional towns especially, it is a vital service and often the only regular check in someone receives. It is a simple thing, but it makes a real difference. If you have some spare time this year, I would strongly encourage getting involved."

The service has now returned to its normal schedule, operating Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30am to 1:30pm. Despite recent heavy rain, deliveries are continuing as planned, with updates provided if conditions change.

Ingham Meals on Wheels also thanked its volunteers for continuing to deliver meals “rain, hail or shine,” and encouraged anyone interested in joining the team to enquire at the office. Roles include kitchen support and meal delivery, and staff are happy to answer questions about volunteering.

"Community only works when people show up.” Said Paul, and Ingham Meals on Wheels reflected this: "We can’t thank Paul and Mrs Tabone enough for coming in to help out in the kitchen today. This is what we are about, community and bringing the people together."
