The Meals Project

THE MEALS PROJECT
Every Wednesday evening at 5:30pm, the doors will open at the Salvation Army Hall, 109 Kingaroy Street, for free nutritional meals, with a little dessert, to anyone who needs them. They are welcome to sit down or take away.

South Burnett Support Alliance will provide all the takeaway containers, paper plates, cutlery and serviettes. We will also promote your group/business efforts on our FB page and website. You, your organisation, business or charity provides the food, already cooked to serve (something you can prepare at home(s)) and the friendly faces to serve the food. Feel free to put up a little sign to advertise your group/business.

Numbers will be small at the start, until people hear about this service. We will let you know how many people turned up the previous week, to give you a guide as to how many might turn up when it is your turn. What you offer is your choice.

To be nutritious a main meal has protein and vegetables. Some ideas are: pizzas, hamburgers, roast meat and veges, spaghetti bolognaise, a BBQ, lasagna……..? or you can get it catered. Note we are a DGR status charity for tax purposes.
For dessert, something that will not spoil when taken home i.e. not ice cream.

Remember, the people who come here, probably do not have a refrigerator. E.g. apple slice and custard, pudding and custard, cheesecake, chocolate cake, fruit, …… Rotary, Lions, SB Hire, SB Care, Bunnings and the Salvation Army have already made the commitment. Will you join them and put your name down, too? Contact Lee on 0432 111 562 Or email secretary@supportalliance.org.au

A recent survey that Rural Aid conducted through its Farmer Newsletter highlighted
that only 8.5% of respondents have prepared and implemented a formal succession and transition plan, with 31.4% advising that they are not yet prepared and do not know where to start.
Implementing a succession and transition plan will give you and your family peace of mind and a clear path for the future.
Attendees will leave with some issues to consider to develop a succession and transition plan.

The Denim Story
“The Denim Day story begins in Italy in 1992, when an 18-year old girl was raped by the 45-year old driving instructor who was taking her to her very first driving lesson. He took her to an isolated road, pulled her out of the car, removed her jeans and forcefully raped her.
She reports the rape and the perpetrator is arrested and prosecuted. He is then convicted of rape and sentenced to jail. Years later, he appealed the conviction claiming that they had consensual sex. The Italian Supreme Court overturned the conviction and the perpetrator was released. A statement from the Court argued that because the victim was wearing very tight jeans, she had to help him remove them, and by removing the jeans it was not rape but consensual sex. This
became known throughout Italy as the “jeans alibi.”
Enraged by the verdict, the women in the Italian Parliament launched a protest wearing jeans on the steps of the Supreme Court. This protest was picked up by international media which inspired the California Senate and Assembly to do the same on the steps of the Capitol in Sacramento. Patti Occhiuzzo Giggans, Executive Director of Peace Over Violence, saw this in the media and thought everyone should be wearing jeans to protest all of the myths about why women and girls are raped. Denim Day in LA was born. The first Denim Day in LA event was held in April of 1999, and has continued annually since.”
