Carevan Blacktown are BACK
We are back and we couldn’t be happier
It’s been a long time between cuppas and we were so glad to be able to reconnect with the Carevan family and friends at Lalor Park Community Hall
There was a lovely warm buzz in the room as we started out again on the 26th of October, after COVID has put a pause to our evening gatherings since July and it was lovely to see the smiling faces… or eyes over masks…of many of our friends again.
We were blessed with extra meals to help with supply for the first evening back, from Roshni and the Blacktown Sai centre group, who’ve wasted no time in kicking off their cooking support and of course, kitchen Queens Kimbalee, Tracey and Kym back in action as though we haven’t been on hiatus at all! Superstars.
Thanks also to our regular volunteers back on board for the new ‘normal’ Carevan evenings .. and we’ve friends from Rotaract, who were making meals for us during lockdown to deliver along with the hampers, and who’ve now joined the Carevan meal service evenings.
AND a big hug to super Linh, whose clippers and haircutting services were immediately in demand at “Hairvan” as soon as the doors opened… just as everywhere else !!
We are back with old friends and some new, many who’ve joined the Carevan family along the way, while we ran our hamper deliveries to homes of those most in need of this support during the lockdown period over the past few months and who are now members of the Carevan family and friends at the evening services.
We have continued with our work behind the scenes during the COVID interuption to evening services and were supported throughout, as mentioned in previous posts, by the AMAZING OzHArvest team which, in adition to providing us with hampers each week also added children’s hampers, with items for the younger hosuehold members.. what an fabulaous initiatve and we are very grateful indeed to be included.
We have all COVID safety precautions in place and in accordance with NSW Health and Council Hall use guidelines, ensuring that we can get back to Carevan business as usual, meet with all our friends once again while doing our utmost to ensure the health and wellbeing of all
As always, ALL ARE WELCOME… We’d love to say hello … and share a cup of care
Doors open for the meal service at 7:30… Look forward to seeing you all !!
