"This all occurs Monday through Friday while providing meaningful work experience in a happy safe space, which is offered by our learner's pathway programs."

The care package includes winter favourites such as sausage rolls, lasagna, pumpkin soup, pasta bake and sticky date pudding. The pack also includes staples like bread, milk, sausages and eggs.

The care packages cost $100 with free delivery in Horsham. The packages have been kept close to cost price to make this gift of 15 meals affordable.

"The care packages were inspired by a belief that there was a need for kindness in our community," Ms Koenig said.

"People want to give back and support each other but at times community members are unsure how to achieve this. Taking the initiative it has made the gift of giving easy.

"People can give them as a gift to someone to simply just to show support to those who may be struggling. Many people and businesses that had lost their income or job during COVID would be still feeling the effect for months to come."
