New wheels for meals
A NEW vehicle will help Atherton Meals on Wheels to deliver its food to clients right across the southern Tablelands.
Pictured with the new Nissan X-trail are Meals on Wheels volunteers Bill and Pam
The new Nissan X-trail will be used on some of the group’s longest delivery runs, such as the Yungaburra one which is a 67km round trip three days per week, the Malanda run which is 65km, and the Tolga which is a 62km round trip three days a week.
The vehicle will also be useful when training new volunteers and also to collect groceries and locally-sourced produce used in the preparation of the meal service.
Meals on Wheels Atherton are also seeking new volunteers, particularly anyone who can spare a couple of hours on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday once a week, once a fortnight or even once a month.
To contact the group, call 4091 1686 or drop in and see them inside the Atherton Showgrounds
