Happy fiftieth anniversary to Charlestown Meals on Wheels!

The wonderful volunteers at Charlestown deliver delicious lunches to those who cannot cook for themselves. Not only do the volunteers deliver home-style cooked meals, importantly they provide social interaction, a friendly face and a bit of a chat for many people who find it hard to get out. Every three-course meal is delivered hot and fresh by one of the 160 volunteers, many of whom have been giving up their precious time for years to help others. One is Horst Kuegler, a former marine engineer, who has been working in the Charlestown kitchen for 20 years and really enjoys the camaraderie of Charlestown Meals on Wheels.

Charlestown Meals on Wheels operates out of a cottage, which was gifted to them by Charlestown Rotary back in 1974. To this day, all the meals are cooked, plated up and despatched from that cottage. So it is fitting that Charlestown Rotary was joining the Meals on Wheels volunteers at today's celebration at Central Leagues Club.

Congratulations and thank you to everyone at Charlestown Meals on Wheels!
