Meals On Wheels celebrate another year with annual Christmas lunch

Cairns Meals On Wheels will celebrate another year of service to the community with its annual Christmas clients luncheon today.

Cairns Meals on Wheels is a volunteer-based community service and has been delivering meals to those in need over the last 50 years.

The annual luncheon is the highlight of the year for their clients, and will take place at Balaclava Hotel on Mulgrave Road.

Cairns Meals On Wheels President Joan Cadman said it will be a special occasion for clients, staff and the volunteers who give freely of their time to assist.

“We’d really like to thank Balaclava Hotel for their generosity in providing a venue for this wonderful event,” Ms Cadman said.

“Grace Donnelly and Nan Mann will also provide sing-along Christmas carols so we can all get in the festive spirit.

“And to add to the fun, the ever-popular Santa will make a special appearance!”

Cairns Meals On Wheels, which delivers more than 1,000 meals a week between Gordonvale and Freshwater, always welcomes new clients and volunteers.
