WNT Serves Up Warmth and Wellness - Comfort and Freshness, Side by Side
Friday, 8th May 2026 was a special evening at the WIN (Woodlea Islamic Network) Neighbourly Table. We were delighted to be joined by Luba Grigorovitch (Member for Kororoit, Minister for Youth, and Minister for Carers and Volunteers), along with our very own Pauline Turner. It meant a great deal to have them with us, sharing in the spirit of the evening and seeing first-hand the wonderful community that gathers around our table each week.
We mixed things up a little this time. Alongside the delicious hot meals from Ummah Thai Restaurant, we also handed out a selection of fresh fruit — crisp red and green apples, ripe pears, and bunches of bananas. A small addition, but one that brought an extra burst of colour, freshness, and nourishment to the table.
Voices from the Heart
I recently volunteered with WIN, and it was such a meaningful experience. It was really fulfilling to be able to connect with people in the community face to face and help hand out food to those who need it most. There's something very powerful about being able to support others in such a direct way. You could really see the impact it has on families and how much it means to them. The work WIN does is truly incredible, and it plays such an important role in supporting our community. I'm really grateful to have been part of it. — Luba Grigorovitch MP Labor Member for Kororoit Minister for Youth Minister for Carers and Volunteers
The night was an overall success — and as always, it simply wouldn't have been possible without our incredible volunteers. From setting up and serving to greeting every guest with a smile, their dedication is the heartbeat of the Neighbourly Table. You can see some of the lovely moments from the evening captured in the highlights above.
The Neighbourly Table continues to be a place of warmth, connection, and care — and this evening reminded us, once again, just how much good can happen when a community comes together.
