Thank you to Meals on Wheels Southern Highlands for welcoming me to join you to deliver meals and visit residents in Colo Vale, Hill Top and Yerrinbool. Meals on Wheels Southern Highlands provides more than just meals; they deliver care, connection, and peace of mind. Their regular home visits offer vital check-ins on the well-being of clients, some of whom are seniors or somewhat isolated. For some, this regular interaction is their main connection to the outside world, ensuring they are safe and supported. These visits cultivate relationships, providing support and essential care. This bond enables individuals to stay in their own homes, maintaining independence while minimising the likelihood of unnoticed health issues or decreased social interactions. National Meals on Wheels Day was on Wednesday the 28th of August, and I offer my heartfelt thanks to the volunteers who make this organisation possible. These volunteers are not only serving up nourishing meals, they provide care, connection and comradery to Australians in need.
