Placing a huge tray of cakes on the table, I smiled.
‘Here comes the cake lady,’ cheered a lovely woman. ‘Thank you.’
As the tears streaked her face, it melted my heart.
I knew she was doing it tough like so many others. It was why I volunteered at Matt’s Place – a food bank and community meal centre in Cheltenham, Vic – cooking for the homeless.
Giving back to the community had always been second nature.
