“You can taste the extra care that goes into each drink or meal prepared, as the auxiliary volunteers go above and beyond.

“By purchasing drinks and meals, you are also supporting Woy Woy Hospital and patient care.

“The Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary has been able to purchase a range of medical equipment through funds raised at the kiosk.

“I would encourage the community on the Peninsula, and across the Central Coast, to visit and have a drink or meal there.

“You will enjoy delicious drinks and meals and support a worthy cause.”

Auxiliary President Phyllis Thomas the kiosk was in need of more volunteers.

“For 20 years the kiosk has operated out of Woy Woy Hospital and supported patient care,” she said.

“We have about eight volunteers but need more to keep up with demand.

“No prior experience or training is necessary, just the ability to make drinks and prepare meals.

“The kiosk has a brilliant new outdoor dining area for customers to enjoy and there are knitted gifts available to purchase as well.”

The kiosk is at Woy Woy Hospital on Ocean Beach Rd, and everybody in the community is welcome.
