Donation for food processor

Mary Mac's Place has received a donation of $5500 from a national supermarket program.

Specifically, the money will be used to purchase a commercial grade food processor and a food mixer as well as minor building works to extract heat generated by an existing freezer.

Mary Mac's Place project officer Ms Christine Burge said that the support of Woolworths would allow Mary Mac's Place to continue to provide a nutritious lunchtime meal to the disadvantaged.

Ms Burge said that, although media reports suggested economic conditions were easing, "there is an increasing number of people in our community doing it tough".

During September, an average of 90 meals were prepared each week day, an increase from the average of 79 meals each day at the same time last year.
