                                            👨🍳Celebrating World Food Week 
Thank you to all who shared in the themes of World Food Week last week, whether by donating food items or money, supporting your clients to engage in new environments, or helping to commence the new 'Spare Shares' initiative at 685 North Road. 
All photos sent through from staff were very much appreciated. There were so many heartwarming moments captured. 
Here's a summary of the week:
'Where Else?' cooking groups challenge
It was great to see clients exploring new environments like MarketPlace Fresh or Peninsula Organics to complete their shopping for ingredients prior to cooking. The Monday Intermediate Cooking group also got their hands dirty harvesting their ingredients from the Herb Gardens at 675 North Road. 
'Spare Shares'
Thank you to Brendan, Isabella, Angus, Inga and also Sharon for preparing the first batch of 'Spare Shares' to be kept in the client kitchen freezer at 685 North Road. These spare portions are intended to provide accessible backup lunch meals for clients who may have forgotten to bring lunch from home. The cooking group have more in store this week. 
Community Access visit to Caldermeade Farm
On Friday, Community Access Group 1 paid a visit to Caldermeade Farm, a working dairy farm where visitors get a glimpse into some of the agricultural processes. Trent, Dylan, David, Jason, Jarrod and Jose all had a great time with Patrick and Poonam, and the group especially enjoyed getting to see some of the farm animals up close.
Today the Client Committee assisted with the donations to Oz Harvest with loading the truck and who could refuse a photo opportunity. 
A fantastic week and a great effort supporting a great cause! 💚
