World Wellness Group
Since 2019, Lingua Franca Chouchous* have supported the World Wellness Group in Stones Corner, Brisbane, by donating pantry staples to their community cupboard.
The World Wellness Group is set up to provide medical care to those most in need here in Brisbane. It’s hard to believe but being in need, even here in Australia, can translate to not having enough to eat.
Our friends at the World Wellness Group report that clients often reveal they’ve not eaten recently during their medical appointments, so staff have to address this first before attending to their medical issue.
At Lingua Franca, we collect staple items on behalf of WWG all year round, but sometimes when we hear there is a particular need, we place a wicker basket at the entry to le nid* to jog people’s memory and encourage others to bring in any surplus they may have lurking in their cupboards at home.
All contributions are gratefully accepted, but of course none are expected. There’s a list below of appropriate items should you wish to help.
