Just last week, both Ingham Meals on Wheels and Ingham Tennis Club received a welcome boost from Powerlink, delivered by representative Ben Galvin.
Ben Galvin explained, "This donation is part of our community investment programme, funded by the Genex Kidston project out at Greenvale. We are helping the communities and the LGAs where we're operating. So, we had a connection with Meals On Wheels, and we're happy to help them by supplying the oven that was the necessary equipment needed to increase their capacity. This donation aligns with our programme to really help the communities that we're operating in."
Terrie Christensen, Service Manager at Ingham Meals on Wheels, shared her appreciation, "With sincere gratitude, Ingham Meals on Wheels would like to thank Powerlink for donating the Combi-Oven. As a team, we simply couldn’t do what we do without amazing businesses like Powerlink. Powerlink’s generosity means everything to us and the community. It has allowed Ingham Meals on Wheels to grow, and in turn, serve those within the community who not only need our service, but rely on it."
Richard Peeke, President of the Ingham Tennis Club, also expressed thanks, highlighting how the donation has supported the club’s junior development. It was through the donation from Powerlink that many young children in the local community could experience the joy and fun of playing tennis for free; "We would just like to thank Powerlink for their sponsorship in providing supportive funds towards Junior coaching, which is greatly increasing the number of kids who are coming to the club." He added with a smile, "And hopefully we'll see some future tennis stars out of them."
