A big thank you to for their incredible support over two days assisting with hamper packing and pickups for our Hampers of Hope program.

When they reached out, they kindly shared that they were setting up wellness sessions and were also looking for opportunities to get involved in community support activities, and offered to help with packing hampers.

We truly appreciate the time, effort, and enthusiasm shown by the team in getting behind this initiative. Their support made a meaningful difference in helping us prepare and distribute hampers to those in need.

Thank you again for your generosity and commitment to supporting the community.

We recently had Dietitian Adrian from Sydney visit St Vincent’s Kitchen to undertake a menu review for Meals on Wheels.
The purpose of the visit was to ensure our meals continue to meet current nutritional guidelines and provide balanced, healthy options for our clients.
It was a great opportunity to review our menu offerings and discuss ways we can continue to improve the nutritional quality and consistency of the meals we provide to the community.
Thank you to Adrian for his time and expertise, and to the kitchen team at St Vincent’s for their ongoing commitment to delivering nutritious and high-quality meals.

15 June – World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

Today, we stand together to recognise World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

At Griffith Meals on Wheels, we believe every older person deserves to live with dignity, respect, and safety in their home and community. Elder abuse—whether it is mistreatment, neglect, or harm of any kind—is never acceptable.

We encourage our community to join us in speaking up, staying informed, and supporting efforts to prevent elder abuse in all its forms. Together, we can help ensure older people are valued, protected, and heard.

💜 Join us and stand up against the abuse, mistreatment, and neglect of older people.
Together, we can stop elder abuse.

If you are worried about the abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an older person or adult with disability in NSW, support is available:

💙 Men’s Health Week | June 15–21

From June 15–21, we recognise Men's Health Week, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the health and wellbeing of men in our community.

It’s a chance to check in on the fathers, partners, grandfathers, brothers, friends, and neighbours in our lives—and encourage open conversations about both physical and mental health.

At Griffith Meals on Wheels, we see every day how important connection, nutrition, and community support are to overall wellbeing.

This week, we encourage everyone to:

Reach out and check in on the men in your life
Talk openly about health and wellbeing
Encourage regular health check-ups
Remind each other that support is always available

A simple conversation can make a real difference.

💙 Let’s continue building a strong, caring, and connected community—not just this week, but every week.
