23 June 2024 - Green's MP for Ryan Elizabeth Watson-Brown comes to visit
We were delighted to have Elizabeth Waston-Brown come and visit Ashgrove Meals on Wheels recently to see the work we are able to get done thanks to a Stronger Communities grant organised through her office. A new staircase and a fresh concrete slab will give us more usable space and make sure staff and volunteers are safe as they do their important work.

12 March 2024 - QCOSS & Courier Mail Cost of Living Debate
Recently our Ashgrove Meals on Wheels committee member, and Queensland Meals on Wheels board member Matt, attended the Queensland Council of Social Service (QCOSS) and Courier Mail’s cost of living debate with Premier Steven Miles and Opposition Leader David Crisafulli.
Like many, our organisation is experiencing significant increases in food costs, and so this forum was a welcome platform for us to advocate for Government support to assist organisations like ourselves to continue delivering vital services at an affordable cost.
