WE ARE SEARCHING FOR VOLUNTEER DRIVERS!

Do you have some voluntary time available?

YWCA Mobile Meals urgently requires drivers to deliver mobile meals to the elderly and those unable to prepare their own meals.  The Mobile Meals service delivers meals 11am – 12.20pm, Monday to Friday.  Full training is given.

Contact Kathy - Mobile Meals Co-ordinator.

YWCA Mobile Meals is having a plate drive. We need our plates returned!

Meals are served on ceramic plates but plate numbers are getting low; they are not always returned.  If you have a supply for us we’d be delighted to arrange a pick-up of plates.  Contact Kathy - Mobile Meals Co-ordinator.
