Wheels of Kindness: Kenthurst Rotary Serving Hope Across The Hills
By Dr Peter Gangemi - Former Mayor of the Hills Shire
One of the defining traits of The Hills community is our instinctive desire to help those who need it most. That spirit of compassion was beautifully on display when I joined Kenthurst Rotary for an evening as they served meals to local disadvantaged and homeless residents, a moving reminder that kindness truly drives our community forward.
Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, the Kenthurst Rotary team rolls out their mobile service, offering free food, hot drinks, and companionship to those doing it tough. Beyond the nourishment, they serve something far greater, a sense of dignity, belonging, and hope.
Weekly service locations:
• Tuesdays, 6 – 8 pm: Salvation Army, 277 New Line Road, Dural
• Thursdays, 6 – 8 pm: Power Ford, 17 Victoria Avenue, Castle Hill
The team’s mission is simple yet profound to ensure no one in The Hills goes hungry or feels forgotten. Their selfless work embodies the Rotary motto of Service Above Self and continues to make a real difference in people’s lives.
If you’re a local resident in a position to help, consider joining Kenthurst Rotary or volunteering even a few hours a month. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps keep this compassionate initiative on the road.
Special thanks go to Kathy Bray, who established the food service during her presidency and continues to coordinate it daily, along with Co-Presidents Karo Haltmeier and Terese Wilson, and dedicated Rotarians Paul Rapp, Peter Bray, and the entire team.
