Big thanks for big hearts
I caught up with Rev . Bill Crews and the wonderful team at their Lethbridge Park Food and Care Hub that provides sit down meals at breakfast and lunchtime , typically serving 400 meals a day , except Sundays .
The meals are served by community volunteers to those who need it most at the Lethbridge Park Community Hall , generously supplied by Blacktown City Council .
The food and care hub is rapidly developing a range of services , offering counselling resources and adult literacy programs as well as parent and baby bonding classes .
I want to say a big thanks to the volunteers and community leaders making a positive difference in the lives of residents in our suburbs .

The podcasting studio at BREED Australia in Quakers Hill is a beaut !
The studio gives a platform to people building their small businesses to promote work to a wider audience .
University students , schools and community groups can also make use of the studio .
For over two decades , BREED has been supporting local businesses , and providing education and employment opportunities for our youth .
I ’ m grateful to be able to support the building of this studio with backing through the Chifley Stronger Communities Programme . swr999 . com . au
