MALENY Sukhothai opened up on their day off to provide free lunches to 35 aged care residents from Blue Care Maleny.
Blue Care Maleny manager, Jemma Frankhouser said the Sukhothai owners reached out to them months ago with a generous offer they couldn’t refuse.
“It’s really lovely of them to offer that to the community but also it’s just nice for them to be able to come out and be a part of it,” she said.
“It’s nice to see, and this is a part of our lifestyle activities to get them out amongst the community.
“There’s been a lot of background work to get this happening, we had to do a food and drink assessment for our residents before coming here today.”
Maleny Sukhothai owner Kay, and her partner John Forhlich said they reached out to the aged care facility, because of their Buddhist beliefs, and respect for elders in the community.
