Nothing beats the feeling of community! 💙✨

We wanted to show our gratitude to the incredible team at ‘Paying it Forward - Homeless Services Inc’ for the vital work they do for our community. 🤝

Every Sunday night at Jamison Park, they provide hot meals and essentials to those struggling in Penrith. 🍲🏙️

Following our club presentation day, we were stoked to be able to "pay it forward" by donating our leftover sausages and rolls to their dinner service. 🌭🥖 It’s a small gesture, but we’re glad to know they’ve gone to a great cause! ❤️🙌

If you’d like to get involved or see how you can support the work they do for our community, please take a look at their website
