Maitland Sikhs

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Roads, and Minister for Regional Transport)—Congratulations to the Maitland Sikh's for their dedicated support with the provision of free food to the Woodberry Community. Every week, the group provide hundreds of hot vegetarian meals to the public. They can regularly be seen on the sidelines of local sports fields during the weekends or providing free meals from their base at the Woodberry League Club oval, every Tuesday afternoon. The delicious meals include kidney beans curry, fresh vegetables and fried rice, pumpkin or potato curry, vegetarian pasta and the ever-popular donuts. All produce is sourced locally, often donated, and cooked and served by a dedicated group of volunteers. This is such a gracious contribution to the ongoing well-being of the community, especially in this cost-of-living crisis where so many are struggling on a daily basis. It is a wonderful example of people helping each other with no expectation of reward. On behalf of our community, thank you Maitland Sikh's for your efforts and generosity.
