Another task that the group undertakes is growing fresh vegetables and herbs, which they use to create breakfast, lunch and dinner meals that they offer out to anybody who needs it.
President, Ronald Trenfield said, “Our food cooking program is enabled by a dedicated group within Codgers who meet on a regular basis to prepare and cook packaged meals for those in need. Meals are then frozen in freezers which are part of the church food outreach in conjunction with Shepparton Foodshare and distributed through the church office and other agencies throughout Shepparton and Mooroopna.
“During the year 914 meals have been prepared and 806 have been distributed.
“We’d like to thank all who have contributed to enabling Codger’s Capers Men’s Group to be a success.”
