IMOW President John Kremastos said the organisation is extremely grateful to CommBank’s Innisfail team for their nomination and support.

“Meals on Wheels is more than just a meal, as our dedicated volunteers not only provide important social connection but conduct client welfare checks.”

Currently, Innisfail Meals on Wheels is preparing and delivering 100 meals daily, three days a week.

Shaminder (Simmy) Kaur is IMOW’s kitchen supervisor and recently welcomed Shane to the team, a cook with experience in commercial kitchens.

IMOW has a pro-active committee of John Kremastos (President), Vince O’Brien (Vice President), and Lois Toms (Secretary/Treasurer), with Life member Jan King, Gill Snape, Marsha Nolan and Jeff Baines (committee members).

IMOW offers a varied menu and nutritious home-cooked meals catering to dietary requirements, including vegetarian, diabetic and coeliac options.

With grant funding and their own funds, IMOW has purchased a new Chill Blaster snap freezer, table trolley, generator, commercial dishwasher and shelving and is always looking to improve infrastructure at their premises.

This year marks the 36th anniversary since IMOW opened in their current location. They are two years away from celebrating 50 years of service.

IMOW is always looking for more volunteer kitchen helpers, delivery drivers and assistants on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10.40 am - 12.40 pm.

Kitchen helpers prepare food (chopping, peeling, mashing), wash up, serve, seal packing meals, and make soups and desserts.

Delivery drivers and assistants are allocated to various regional runs from Innisfail CBD, Flying Fish Point to Kurrimine Beach, Silkwood, Mena Creek, Palmerston and Eubenangee.

IMOW offers a small fuel subsidy for delivery drivers to offset costs to volunteers.

For further information, please call 4061 1919 or message via the Innisfail Meals on Wheels Facebook page.

Throughout Australia, Meals on Wheels has around 450,000 volunteers who outlined what they loved most about their role.

They found it extremely rewarding assisting others in need, meeting clients, social interaction with clients, staff and volunteers, as well as giving back to their local community.
