St George Meals on Wheels

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (19:53:37):

I acknowledge the great work of St George Meals on Wheels, which was established in 1967. St George Meals on Wheels is a community-based organisation that provides meals to the St George area, including my electorate of Oatley. It offers a variety of meals to assist people who are frail, aged or disabled to live and stay at home and to ensure that their family or other caregivers are supported in their role. For many years I have been fortunate to volunteer as a "runner" for Meals on Wheels, which involves delivering meals to the doorstep. This is an incredibly rewarding experience and a great opportunity to meet some of our locals. In 2017 I was pleased to present the CEO of St George Meals on Wheels, Ms Nahed Soliman, with the Oatley Local Woman of the Year award for her dedicated coordination of the organisation's services. I thank St George Meals on Wheels NSW for the valuable work it does for our local community.
