Jean packs a mean hamper
HORNSBY: For more than a decade Jean Moore has dedicated her life to feeding the homeless and needy in Hornsby Shire.
The Hornsby Salvation Army volunteer packs food hampers which are distributed to those who are struggling to make ends meet.
Corps officer Carolyn O’Brien described Ms Moore as an “exceptional volunteer” and has nominated her for a Pride of Australia Medal in the Community Spirit category.
“Though unwell herself, Jean works in a voluntary capacity three days a week packing hampers for our community service clients and stocking our pantry shelves,” Ms O’Brien said.
“Jean also assists in many other ways in our office by answering the phones, book-keeping, sorting through hundreds of toys each year for our Christmas appeal and packing volunteer kits for our annual Red Shield Appeal.
“She is a tireless worker and never misses a ‘work’ day.”
Ms Moore said she enjoyed the opportunity to help others.
“(I feel) a bit nervous (about the recognition) because I like doing the work but in the background, she said. “I really feel that this is one way that God can use me. And maybe others see the beauty of Him in me.”
- Pride of Australia medal winners will be announced on August 31. Details: prideofaustralia.com.au.

We made some great Christmas Hampers for our friends and family last year. And we made them with a difference.
We found some clearance treasure chests at a homestore that was closing down. They were lovely chests, deep and rectangular with intricate art work carved into the rim around the lids. They were such good value we bought quite a few of them – without knowing quite what we were going to do with them.
A few weeks later we had an absolute brainwave. A lot of our family live quite a distance away and it is always hard to find a good family gift that will travel well. So we decided to make some christmas hampers, using the chests we’d bought as the containers.
So much better than baskets or cardboards boxes and the chest was a gift too. So we stacked the chests full of Christmas food and goodies like cakes, puddings and mince tarts and sent them off.
They were a real hit with all our family and friends. They loved them! Why not try sending Christmas hampers to your family and friends?
