Mid Murray Support Service: February News

As we step into the new year, we’d like to reflect on the incredible generosity of our local community and share some exciting updates for the year ahead.

We are incredibly grateful to the team at Horwood Bagshaw for their amazing donation of food items collected through their Food Hamper Drive. The assortment of canned goods, dry goods, drinks, sweet treats, jars of sauces, and spreads has made a real difference in helping families in need over the holiday period.

We’d also like to extend a special thanks to St. Martin’s Lutheran Church for their donation of three large boxes filled with dry goods and canned items. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to us and to those we support.

Our community spirit is truly inspiring, and it’s acts of kindness like these that remind us why Mannum is such a wonderful place to live.

We’re looking forward to another busy year at The HUB! Keep an eye on our social media, and our website or give us a call to confirm February’s calendar, including the return of Bend and Stretch sessions.

Mid Murray Support Service is proud to be the provider of choice for Home Care Packages in Mannum and surrounding regional areas. If you or a loved one needs assistance, we’re here to help.

Tip: Did you know the South Australian District Nursing Service was founded in 1925 by philanthropists and charity organisations? Back then, the government played a very limited role in aged and disability care. What a long way we’ve come!
