Congratulations to Warrumbungle Community Care for being one of two Innovation Award winners for 2022.

After the success and popularity of meal vouchers purchased from COVID funding, Warrumbungle Community Care decided to continue and expand on the voucher concept, creating booklets of ten $10 food vouchers for their Meals on Wheels clients, that could be used at a variety of food businesses throughout the vast local government area of 12,380 square kilometres.

This has encouraged people to get out and socialise and has helped increase their independence, whilst also providing their clients with a wider variety of choice, along with the regular hot and frozen meals and breakfast packs already on offer.

Both the number of vouchers and vendors participating has more than doubled since its inception and continues to grow.
