📸 Here's a snapshot of Bradley making a difference in our community by delivering Meals on Wheels! 🍲🚗 The Meals on Wheels program is a small group effort aimed at providing food and companionship to elderly and vulnerable people in our community. With the support of staff, volunteers like Bradley collect the meals, navigate to the recipient's address, and deliver the food with a smile. This amazing program not only helps those in need, but also develops self-confidence and self-esteem through service to the community. After a job well done, volunteers enjoy a refreshing drink at a local café and have their lunch in the park. 🌳🥪 Want to get involved and make a difference like Bradley?
