KATHY JENNINGS AND CHARLESTOWN MEALS ON WHEELS

Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown)—Charlestown and District Meals on Wheels is a vital part of our local community, delivering delicious and balanced meals to local residents getting on in years. I've had a lot to do with Meals on Wheels, and I am always impressed by their commitment to their work and their tireless efforts to help some of the most vulnerable members of our community. I recently had a chance to catch up with the Charlestown and District manager, Kathy Jennings, and her extraordinary team. Meals on Wheels has been serving the local community for many, many years, but 2020 posed new challenges, as it did for all of us—but I am pleased to report that the team was able to rise to the occasion. Kathy's leadership will be vital to ensuring their ongoing success, and I am sure she is more than up to the challenge. They are always looking for more volunteers, and I encourage everyone who can to get in touch and lend a hand. My thanks to Kathy, her staff and the many people who volunteer their time to Meals on Wheels. The Charlestown community appreciates all the work you do.
