We managed to get the community to 350 Specialist appointments; 112 Hospital visits (Day Surgery drop off/pick-up); 300 GP appointments; 186 social trips & 468 shopping trips.

Our Meals on Wheels service based in Iluka delivered 622 meals and 220 desserts during July 2022. We were able to do welfare checks, have a quick chat and help our customers see a friendly face (even with our masks on).

If you need help with transport or meals, call Connect You Too at Townsend on 6645 3200 to see if you qualify for any subsidies or assistance. Also, don’t forget to log onto the new website and investigate all that is offered – www.connectu2.org.au
