Pictured are some members of the Forbes CWA Evening Branch.
Members of the Forbes Community are invited and encouraged to drop into the Forbes Evening Branch of CWA’s ‘Winter Walk in Soup Kitchen’ on Wednesday 2 July. The soup kitchen will be held at the CWA Rooms, Lachlan Street, Forbes from 12:30pm.
Members of the Forbes Evening Branch are looking forward to serving members of our Community, especially our elderly and employees of business houses in the CBD of Forbes, as well as anyone wishing to enjoy a warm bowl of soup.
The cost will be $5 per bowl, and each serve will be accompanied by a bread roll and a hot beverage. This service offers an opportunity for elderly community members to sit, have a chat and enjoy the company of others.
Funds raised from the soup kitchen will be utilised by the Forbes Evening Branch to support further causes in our community.
The Forbes Evening Branch operates under the Guidelines of the Country Women’s Association of NSW. The CWA was formed in 1922 when country women were fighting isolation and a lack of health facilities. The CWA is the largest women’s organisation in Australia and aims to improve conditions for country women and children.
Would you like to make new friends and make a difference in our community? Some of CWA values include supporting each other, advocating on community issues, sustainable development and the protection of the environment and social issues.
The Forbes CWA Evening Branch meets the second Thursday of each month at Club Forbes. Time is 6pm for dinner and the meeting begins at 7pm. All are welcome. For further information please email forbeseveningbranchcwa@gmail.com
