The Wilmott Community Hub has gone mobile by using a coffee van to stay connected to the local community. The Hub team has taken to the streets of Mount Druitt with coffee and conversation in an effort to give members of the community that vital touchpoint that they normally would get through the Community Hub, pre-COVID. The coffee van makes targeted stops to those residents the team knows may be struggling with isolation, and while respecting social distancing rules, the Hub team members can share a coffee and check-in with those who need it most. Monique Perusco, Manager Social and Community Services at Jesuit Social Services says, “the van is a great way for us to touch base in a COVID-safe environment. Many people here have had a tough time this year and this allows us to keep in touch and let them know we’re still here for them and supporting the community.”
