Breakfast club helping hungry people EACH weekday, the Frankston Brekky Club puts meals on the table and smiles on the faces of people doing it tough. The club runs daily hot breakfasts from Monday to Friday for people who are struggling to afford food. The breakfasts have been held at Frankston’s Chisholm TAFE campus for the last four years. After giving so much to the community, the club is now asking the community to return the favour and help keep it up and running. Club organiser Trudy Poole says “we are really looking for extra volunteers, and any financial support with donations of food.” Around 70 volunteers work together to keep the initiative up and running. Poole says “it’s a family that’s been created.” “One of our clients said to me that you’ve usually got to go to the city to get breakfast. It’s also not just a piece of toast - it’s a hot breakfast, juice, and cereal, and you will be part of a community.” The free community breakfast pauses on 22 December, and will restart after 4 January.
