St George Meal on Wheels

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, there are so many important organisations in my community, who work incredibly hard for the vulnerable and less fortunate. One such organisation is St George Meals on Wheels, who continue to do a fantastic job, over — 56 years after they were first founded within our community. Whilst I have already spoken about their achievements in this Parliament before, the volunteers and team of executives do such a fantastic job, that I just had to recognise their hard work again. St George Meals on Wheels empowers the elderly within our community to live safely and comfortably within their homes, ensuring that they have access to nutritious and tasty food. I'd like to thank the CEO of St George Meals on Wheels, Nahed Soliman, for her continued dedication. I'd also like to thank President Lesley Sandiland, Vice President, John Burke, Secretary, Karen Bindon and Treasurer, Barbara Sainsbury. I'd also like to thank all of the volunteers — without you, this important initiative simply would not be possible. St George Meals on Wheels and I have a wonderful partnership that I am excited to continue well into the future.
