Wording your bequest

Joan Barry's Impact

A generous bequest from Joan Barry of Orange has provided her local Meals on Wheels service with a brand new van.

The new Meals on Wheels van, affectionately named Joan, now sits proudly outside the Choices at Home cottage in Orange. This isn't just any new vehicle; it's a heartwarming outcome of a generous bequest received by Meals on Wheels NSW.

The testator specifically wished for the funds to go back to the Orange area, and after discussions with Orange Food Services - Orange City Council, this beautiful story unfolded.

A message on bequests from our CEO

Meals on Wheels depends on the generosity of community spirit at individual and corporate level to keep going and growing.

Without the generosity of sponsors and other financial supporters, Meals on Wheels could not meet the diverse needs of so many in our community.

Leaving a Gift in your Will, or a Bequest is a tangible way of assisting with the continuance of Meals on Wheels NSW in to the future.
Claudia Odello, CEO, Meals on Wheels NSW
