I was recently invited to be the guest speaker at a Lions Club of Toronto meeting, and while I enjoyed talking with members about the big things happening in Lake Macquarie, I was blown away to hear about the good work they have been doing for the most vulnerable members of our community. Under the Club's Eat Up Lunches program, members have been making between 1,000 and 1,500 sandwiches and delivering them to numerous schools throughout Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and Maitland, every three weeks. Some of the sandwiches are eaten fresh by students whose parents can't afford to provide them with lunch, while others are frozen for later distribution. It's a sad indication of our times, that there are families in our community who are under so much financial stress they are unable to provide school lunches. This initiative is a simple one, that makes a real difference. Earlier this year, the Club also raised $4,000 for The Pamper Care Project, a Woodrising based organisation that provides food and personal care items to those in need. I would like to thank Lions Club of Toronto members for their efforts.
