HOT MEALS IN HAMILTON 🍲

On Thursday evening, we had the privilege of joining the incredible volunteers at Hamilton Islamic Centre, supporting their latest FREE HOT MEAL delivery across Hamilton.

Thanks to their generosity and hard work, 93 free hot meals were delivered to individuals and families across the town — taking the total to 193 meals when combined with our pre-Christmas deliveries.

Hamilton Islamic Centre spearheaded this initiative, and Community Links are proud to support - and be part of - such a powerful act of community care. 💛
