Thanks Grace for a half century’s service to MoW
Grace Woolcock OAM (above, at right) has been a volunteer at Meals on Wheels’ Lambton branch since May 1966. Grace says “It’s the friendships you make that keeps you coming back”. The team at Meals on Wheels Lambton, some pictured above, were on hand to mark Grace’s 50 years of service recently.
You might hear or read about someone who has given much to their community over many years. But few would match the commitment of Lambton resident Grace Woolcock to the local branch of Meals on Wheels. This month marks 50 years since Grace became a volunteer for this vital community service. Mrs Woolcock says she can’t quite claim to having been there from day one. “I think I joined when the branch was about 3 days old. That was in late May 1966. I’ve been involved ever since.” “It has been the friendships, many of them lifelong, that keep me coming back” Grace told Lambton Local. Grace’s volunteer work hasn’t been confined to Meals on Wheels either. She has been a tireless volunteer fundraiser for local schools, the Scouts and her local Church for most of her life. This service has been recognised more than once before with a City of Newcastle Service Medal in 2005 (continued page 2)
