Extra helping hands for Easter

Extra helping hands for Easter

Huon Aquaculture joined Kingborough Helping Hands on a food run on Good Friday, April 6.
"The team at Kingborough Helping Hands provide an incredible service to the local community and we thought they might need some extra helping hands over Easter," said Huon Aquaculture's Community Relations Adviser Kristy Harrison.
"It was great to be able to add the Huon smoked salmon packs as a special extra to the everyday essential food supplies that Edna and her volunteers provide on a weekly basis.
"It's a really challenging time for a lot of people in our community and the team at Huon Aquaculture just wanted to do something to help make a difference."
In 2013, Edna Pennicott established Kingborough Helping Hands (KHH) to provide an organisational structure for the work she had been doing for decades.
KHH provides food and household essentials to people experiencing financial difficulty.
KHH is supported by many volunteers and raises approximately $30,000 per year through events such as Edna's Christmas Luncheon and Edna's Soup and Sandwich Fundraiser.
KHH runs the weekly Kingston service of the St Vincent de Paul Society's Loui's Van, which provides food and information to homeless people and others experiencing hardship.
