It was a logistical challenge getting so many different gifts sorted and packed for the project’s diverse beneficiaries.. These ranged from the Frida Hartley Women’s Shelter, Bethany, Guild Cottage, Park Care, the families serviced by the Pantry and the customers of the Soup Kitchen.
The Christmas Lunch team was magnificent. Brenda Rode handmade 300 care bags, John Faulkner kept track of the finances, Audrey and, Caron Frylinck along with Nelita Knappe, ensured the smooth running of packing days. Nelita also sourced volunteers for us and Audrey did the shopping and got incredible deals done with her supplier Tony.
“And a special thank you must go to TGE Suier Volunteer Team, who brought their energy and time to assisting with the big pack on Reconciliation Day. Bless you Nelita for bringing these wonderful young people on board” says Geoff.
