Food for thought

Staff ReporterMandurah Coastal Times

The Mandurah Coastal Times wants the businesses community to help its Community Christmas by taking part in a charity campaign, with part proceeds going to the unfunded group.

The soup kitchen offers hot meals five days a week, a safe place for a chat and a cuppa, and even pastoral care from its base in the old church hall in Gibson Street.

It currently caters for about 80 people a day, with help from a number of sponsors and volunteers, including Hog’s Breath Restaurant, which cooks lunch three days a week for free as the hall has no cooking facilities, and John Tonkin College Tafe students, who once a week donate the meals cooked in their training sessions.

The Mandurah Coastal Times will run a special campaign featuring the soup kitchen, giving businesses the chance to take part in the unique community-based project, and promote their Christmas bargains and sales.
