Keeping the wheels turning
Meals on Wheels Bribie Island is celebrating their 50th birthday this week and is putting out an urgent call for more volunteers.
Meals on Wheels Moreton Bay Region (MOWMBR) is dedicated to fostering independence, enhancing quality of life, and promoting well-being among the community’s most vulnerable individuals.
They have advised that they need more volunteers in their Pine Rivers and Bribie Island kitchens, along with more Delivery Drivers and Delivery Aides.
Through the consistent delivery of nutritious meals, meaningful social contact, and supportive services, MOWMBR aims to empower their clients to continue living in their own homes safely and comfortably.
Their mission is to enable people to live independently by providing meals, social contact, and services that support their well-being, health, and safety.
“The most satisfying aspect of our work at Meals on Wheels Moreton Bay Region is knowing that we make a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients,” a Bribie Island staff member said.
“The gratitude and smiles from those we serve, and the reassurance that they can continue living in their own homes safely and comfortably is incredibly rewarding.
“The personal connections we build with our clients and the knowledge that we are contributing to their overall quality of life bring immense satisfaction to our team.”
MOWMBR serves the Caboolture, Burpengary, Woodford, Bribie Island, Pine Rivers, and Samford areas, and they have over 400 volunteers.
They are open Tuesday to Friday for deliveries.
