Helping dish out some hope at Woy Woy

OWN Secretary Jennifer Brown delivers the supplies to Hope and Meals team leader Jeffery Law

The Hope and Meals Dinner is held every Friday at 6pm in the hall behind the Seventh Day Adventist Church at 83 Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, following the regular food pantry, Second Bite.

The Hope and Meals project is open to everyone in the community to come and share a decent meal, meet people from every walk of life and have some light-hearted banter and conversation with other community members.

The Older Women’s Network (OWN) Deepwater has identified both the food pantry and Hope and Meals as programs which help to reduce the community’s food insecurity and the scourge of loneliness.

The group recently provided 10 sleeping bags to the event, along with assorted kitchen items which will see the community dinner through for some time.

The sleeping bags will be given to rough sleepers on request.

“We hope to continue our association with the Seventh Day Adventist Church, having already given $500 the week before  to the food pantry,” a spokesperson said.
