The Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary Kiosk is open and serving the community after shutting for 18 months following the COVID-19 pandemic and recent renovations to its building.
Open from 10am until 2pm Tuesday to Friday, the kiosk serves delicious drinks and meals, including coffee, tea, sandwiches, and burgers.
Frequented by NSW Health staff and other health professionals, the auxiliary is encouraging the wider community to visit and support the kiosk.
All funds raised goes back into supporting patient care and to purchase medical equipment for Woy Woy Hospital.
Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP, visited the Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary Kiosk to commend the organisation and volunteers on its re-opening.
“The Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary Kiosk is an outstanding café on the Peninsula”, Dr Reid said.
“You can taste the extra care that goes into each drink or meal prepared, as the auxiliary volunteers go above and beyond”.
“By purchasing drinks and meals, you are also supporting Woy Woy Hospital and patient care. The Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary has been able to purchase a range of medical equipment through funds raised at the kiosk”, Dr Reid said.
“I would encourage the community on the Peninsula, and across the Central Coast, to visit and have your next drink or meal there. You will enjoy delicious drinks and meals and support a worthy cause”.
Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary President, Ms Phyllis Thomas, says the kiosk is open and looking for volunteers.
“For 20 years the kiosk has operated out of Woy Woy Hospital and supported patient care”, Ms Thomas said.
“We have about 8 volunteers in the kiosk but need more to keep up with demand. No prior experience or training is necessary, just the ability to make drinks and prepare meals”.
“The kiosk has a brilliant new outdoor dining area for customers to enjoy and there is knitted gifts available to purchase as well”, Ms Thomas said.
The Woy Woy Hospital Auxiliary is at Woy Woy Hospital on Ocean Beach Road, and everybody in the community is welcome.
To volunteer at the kiosk, call (02) 4344 8435 or contact the President on 0409 425 811.
