The hampers included a mix of dry goods, like rice, long life milk, canned items and fresh produce, including eggs, while Resilience NSW supplied wipes, face masks and hand sanitiser in each hamper. The hampers included enough to help feed two people a meal a day for a week.
Mayor Steve Christou says the community has proven it is strong and resilient and “we will come through this again as we did before”.
“Families in the area have been doing it tough. With the shutdown of businesses, there have been many families who have no household income, but still have to pay bills,” he said.
“I’m glad we can pull together a gesture the community can appreciate and be proud of. I thank everyone involved for their support and generosity.”
