The impact of this morning snack, put together by this dedicated team, is seen in a wide array of areas.

The Soldiers Point Lions Club has engaged with the Tomaree Neighbourhood Centre and the Yacaaba Centre for a few years now as part of their commitment to our community.

Both centres provide emergency hampers for those who need a helping hand.

Sharon Blunt of the Lions Club of Soldiers Point told News Of The Area, “Many of our BBQs assist us with the payments to these two worthy centres who provide valuable assistance.

“The need for these services has increased especially this year and any support we can give goes a long way to assist with their service provision.

“Over the last five years we have been providing and delivering food to both centres and we provide six deliveries to each centre per year.

“Each shop we do is $200 worth of food which we have liaised with the centres as to what they require each month.”

World Hunger Day approaches on 28 May 2023, and the need for emergency food provisions remains high in the local community.

“Some members of our local community are doing it hard at present and that little bit of food hampers help to make their journey a little easier,” Sharon said.

The Lions shoppers that usually provide this service to our community are Sharon Blunt and Virginia Andrews.
