Community Meals
Supporting Whyalla families over the weekend
Wara Yindi Support Services, with the support of ADRA, is delivering 12 weeks of free community meals for local families.
Free community meals support for Whyalla Community
This program is about more than food. It is about easing pressure, strengthening community connections and ensuring families feel supported during difficult periods.
The Community Meals Program is delivered by Wara Yindi Support Services and made possible with the generous support of ADRA.
Each Friday, freshly prepared family meals will be available for 10 nominated families. The program aims to provide practical support over the weekend, when access to emergency relief and other community services may be limited.
