By Beatrice Hawkins, Community Van Volunteer
The Warwick Community Van, an initiative of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, is continually grateful for the wonderful support given them by the Lighthouse in Guy Street.
The Community Van, “Frankie” by name, and the team of volunteers from the community, provides a meal and fellowship for all comers in Leslie Park in the centre of town each Sunday evening.
Hygiene packs and some clothing etc are also available each week.
This is provided from a Christian perspective with no strings attached.
The partnership with the Lighthouse has been invaluable as a source of donations of food and other necessary items, the latest of these is shown in the accompanying picture.
At this time of Covid restrictions, hand sanitiser is an extremely necessary and much used item.
The meal served last week was a typical menu. Pumpkin soup provided by the local RSL club, followed by vegetable fried rice with the fresh ingredients courtesy of the zero waste programme with which the Lighthouse is involved.
Dessert was a choice of deconstructed caramel or lemon meringue pie.
It is a delight to be able to be involved and receive the cooperation of other Christians, in meeting the temporal needs of God’s children.
