In honour of our friend Lisa who is the inspiration behind all we do at Lisa’s Lunches we have been able to successfully & generously give 33 families in the West Moreton Health area a little joy at this time of year.

Each family received several bags of Christmas goodies which included a $100 Coles gift card & a $50 Officeworks gift card per child in the family ………in some cases the families received several gift cards.

Thank you to all of our families who took the time to message us or the person who delivered & donated your hamper. We really appreciate it.

Our 12 Days of Givemas was very successful & we look forward to doing it again in 2025 🩷
