Ballan shoppers can look forward to a ‘Souper Tuesday’ thanks to a continuing winter warmer initiative.
As part of a four-year long program from the Ballan District Health and Care, local op shop Opportunity on Inglis is providing free soup from noon on Tuesdays, and is welcoming the public to come and join in.
Op shop manager Michaela Johnston encouraged the community to escape the winter chills
“Everyone is welcome to join us from 12pm on a Tuesday for a delicious cup of heart- warming soup and a fresh bread roll,” Ms Johnston said.
“Thank you to all the sponsors, the Ballan District Health and Care kitchen, and of course our op shop volunteers for making Souper Tuesday possible again this year.
“It is a fantastic opportunity for the community to come together on these cold winter days.”
Ballan District Health and Care chief executive Rowena Clift said it was a good chance to give back to the community.
“It is wonderful to see so many generous individuals and local businesses supporting Souper Tuesday,” she said.
Opportunity on Inglis is at 159 Inglis Street, Ballan.
