St Nectarios Greek Orthodox Church in Burwood has received a $14,000 ClubGrant from Burwood RSL to continue the vital community work of The Cottage Kitchen, which provides free meals to those in need.
Burwood RSL Gaming Manager Glenn McEvoy visited parish volunteers last week to present the cheque and watch them serve 150 freshly prepared meals for vulnerable residents. Father John Kapetas was also present for the visit.
The parish expressed its gratitude, saying it was thankful to Burwood RSL for supporting the initiative for the second consecutive year.
Launched in July 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Cottage Kitchen began with a $5,000 grant from Multicultural NSW.
Today, volunteers cook more than 100 nutritious meals each week, available for pick-up on Mondays at 5 Burleigh Street, Burwood, or delivered to those with mobility issues.
