The Boorowa Community Food Hub, which provides support for local families doing it tough, is marking its second ‘birthday.’
For the past two years the Hub, which is situated on the corner of Brial and Park Streets, has been providing a variety of basic food items to anyone who, due to the increasing cost of living, feels the need for some support in accessing basic foodstuffs.
Stocking of the Hub is made possible by generous donations from local service clubs and many individuals.
The motto of those who manage the facility is: ‘Take what you need and leave what you can.’
Quite a number of local families make use of the Hub, and its presence ensures that their task of managing the household budget in these difficult times is made a little easier.

Coordinator of the Hub, Kathy McLennan, indicated recently that the project has received a very generous donation from the Boorowa Rotary Club, through funds raised from the local Op. Shop.
“This will greatly assist in the ongoing supply of basic items to stock the Hub, for the benefit of those who have a need of its services,” Kathy said.
Most of the supplies to stock the facility are purchased locally.
Many local individuals have supported the facility since its inception, and assistance in maintaining the service has also come from outside the district.
This support and encouragement is greatly appreciated, and ensures the continuation of its work in the local community.
A simple cake-cutting ceremony is to take place to mark the two years in which the Hub has assisted local families, making their lives a little easier in these challenging times.
The brief ceremony will take place at the Hub on Tuesday, September 9, at 4pm, and all are welcome to attend.
