Volunteers lend a hand

Wyndham volunteers are spreading kindness by running deliveries, helping the elderly at the supermarket and distributing toilet rolls to families in lockdown.

Salvation Army Wyndham City members have been spending their mornings assisting elderly and disabled shoppers at Werribee Woolworths as well as making nutritious free meals for locals to take away.

“We’re living, loving and fighting alongside others that need some extra assistance,” one volunteer said.

Meanwhile, residents of Eynesbury received a gift of toilet rolls on their doorsteps last week.

Volunteers from property developer Resimax Group distributed more than 6000 rolls in an effort to unite and support the local community.

Toilet paper was delivered by golf buggy to houses, equipped with hand sanitiser, and a note left in explanation.

Resimax Group founder Ozzie Kheir said he wanted to pay forward the kindness that was recently paid to him.

“We have been blown away by the sense of community in the area,” Mr Kheir said.

“We have seen the great things the residents are doing for each other through our community Facebook groups, and this was something that we were able to do in return for them.”

In addition to the toilet paper drop, the property group has also established its own fresh food delivery service called ‘Eynesbury Fresh’ to ensure residents have access to essentials like fresh fruit, vegetables and meat from local suppliers.
