Read the full storyMeals On Wheels Ingham has over 80 clients in the Hinchinbrook region and it is the community’s generous donations that enable this vital local service to operate all year round.
With the community’s help Meals on Wheels has been able to instal solar panels, and buy two brand-new ovens for their brand-new building.
Meals On Wheels Ingham moved into their current building on the 18th April of this year and this impressive modern building was kindly funded by the Lower Herbert Halifax Lions Club.
President of Meals On Wheels Ingham Rita Phillips is extremely thankful for the support.
Meals On Wheels Ingham deliver hot meals to clients on a weekly basis, on Mondays they go to Forrest Beach and the Lower Herbert area with meals. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday they service Ingham.
None of this would be possible without volunteers which Rita said are vital.
“We are indebted to the volunteers because without them, we wouldn't be moving,” said Rita.
“The volunteers come into the kitchen to help our staff there and they also deliver the meals.
“There are business houses that help us out in that too, NQIB and the Hinchinbrook Shire Council send their members once a month or sometimes twice a month, to come and deliver for us.”
Meals On Wheels Ingham run mainly on volunteers and Rita said without them their clients would really struggle.
“There are people who don't have family here and we are the only way they get their meal,” said Rita.
Rita also added that they are always on the lookout for more volunteers so if you have some time to contribute they would love to hear from you.
