There was absolutely no need for anyone to be on their own on Christmas Day with the Coolum HeARTs group once again hosting a free community drop-in Christmas lunch for the community. The well-attended lunch ran from 12 noon to 2 pm and was held at the Coolum Civic Centre on December 25. The lunch featured lots of smiles, lots of festive food and was an absolute joy to attend. Well done to all of the Coolum businesses and people who supported the lunch.
If you would like to support Coolum HeARTs you can catch them each Thursday selling raffle tickets at the Coolum Hotel from 4.30 – 5.30 pm. They have a meat tray, seafood voucher and food vouchers from the Hotel on offer. Alternatively, you can get in touch via their website and sign up to their mailing list for information on their 2025 activities and classes and they are always in need of more volunteers – www.coolumhearts.com.au
