Rapid Relief Team

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—Our essential workers do so much for our community and the rapid Relief team this week decided to say thank you. The nurses and staff at Maitland Hospital were treated to a free lunch on Tuesday courtesy of the generous volunteers. Rapid Relief Team is a charity that usually sets up its free food station to feed emergency services during natural disasters. This was the first time it has catered for Maitland Hospital staff. The volunteers come out to not only provide burgers and coffee but also to say thank you to the wonderful nurses and staff at Maitland Hospital, and the front line staff as well as the ambulance crews. The team cooked 1000 beef burgers and offered free barista coffee as a small token of their thankfulness. The groups just wanted to say thank you for the care they provide the Maitland community. Rapid Relief Team is the charitable arm of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, which is in Louth Park. Thank you for your generosity to the essential workers at Maitland Hospital.
