In fact, over the Christmas period, in some cases, the Meals on Wheels Wagga volunteers are the only visit some clients get.

So, it is no surprise the Meals on Wheels Wagga volunteers go out of their way to help makes Christmas a little bit more special for those clients- starting with some delicious festive meals.

Thanks to the generosity of the South Wagga Lions Club, Meals on Wheels Wagga will be able to distribute 320 individual Christmas cake servings which were kindly donated.

Each of the 150 local clients will be given two cakes each.
