The executive committee and members of the Older Women’s Network (OWN) Deepwater responded to a recent urgent call for food donations to Mary Mac’s Food Pantry at Woy Woy.
The organisation was looking for groceries for inclusion in hampers to be provided to the hungry, homeless and destitute on the Woy Woy Peninsula.
Project Officer Sally Baker said Mary Mac’s had experienced an enormous rise in demand from those in the community who were experiencing food insecurity.
“It was a great pleasure for Jennifer and Sybil to deliver over $500 in basic groceries to replenish Mary Mac’s Food Pantry Woy Woy,” Baker said.
“OWN Deepwater has pledged to provide regular pantry top-ups throughout the year to assist Mary Mac’s ongoing outreach to the most disadvantaged in our community.”
