Meals on the front line

IN perhaps some of the best displays of people uniting to help others, Shepparton’s Azem Elmaz and his People Supporting People organisation have been on the front line with volunteers, preparing meals round the clock for those fighting fires. Individuals and local businesses have rallied behind the effort, donating essential supplies to keep crews fed and supported. Contributions have included 200 rolls from Shepp Fresh Bakery, 1,000 sausages and five crates of fresh bread from Shepparton Greyhounds, and 8,000 coffee cups from Coffee-Mobile. Watters Electrical assisted with transporting supplies into fire-affected areas, while Shepparton Workwear and Safety coordinated donation collections at its High Street store.
