During remote learning opportunities for service learning are extremely limited. However, we recognise the need to look after our extended community during these times. The food and canteen staff have been busy cooking meals for Mac & Joe’s to ensure our partnership with the McKellar Centre continues whilst students are off campus. Lockdowns are particularly difficult for families providing palliative care at home for a loved one. Many local families look forward to a visit from McKellar staff and receiving some wholesome meals. In addition, meals are being provided to SJC staff and families in need as per usual. The meals not only bring nourishment but a sense of community connection to the recipients and the cooks.

Cooking for someone in need is an act of self-care and a practice of mindfulness. Be kind to yourself and make a meal for someone to let them know you are thinking of them.
