Kingaroy, Murgon and Wondai Meals on Wheels today joined with almost 700 other MoW services across Australia to celebrate the 61st<\/span>\u00a0national Meals on Wheels Day.<\/p>\n

Meals on Wheels has more than 75,000 volunteers across Australia and deliver about 14 million meals to almost 60,000 people every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day marks the progress made from humble beginnings in South Melbourne in 1953, where a lady on a tricycle delivered a few meals to local residents,” Australian Meals on Wheels Association president Ron Welsh said.<\/p>\n

“It is an opportunity to highlight to the Australian people the significant contribution that is made to the community by almost 700 Meals on Wheels services volunteers across Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Meals on Wheels service and volunteers across the Australia, not only provide a nourishing meal to almost 60,000 clients each day, but also provide an important community connection through calling at homes to provide a cheery welcome, \u00a0contact and check that each valued client is \u201csafe & well\u201d, hence our national theme\u2026\u2018More than just a meal\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meals on Wheels is always looking for new volunteers to contribute just a few hours a fortnight to help deliver meals.<\/p>\n

For more information, contact\u00a0Regional Support Officer – Southern Debbie Dennien by email<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

You can also sign up to volunteer on the Queensland Meals On Wheels website<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
