Thanks to members of the Tamworth City Lions Club, clients will also get a bundle of chocolate eggs along with their usual meal delivery, to help them celebrate the Easter long weekend.

Tamworth City Lions Club member, Lesley Callcott, said it was an annual tradition for the group to package Easter treats, with 250 bags ready to be delivered throughout the week.

"We've got a few nice 'thank you' cards from the Meals on Wheels people, they seem to appreciate it," Ms Callcott said.

The group packs the Easter eggs as part of the Lions Club's 'World Service Day' celebrations, which aim to show what 'Lionism' stands for.

"Community service is part of what we do," Ms Callcott said.

Tamworth Meals on Wheels manager, Peter Gallagher, said often their clients may be isolated or living alone, so this was the perfect treat to lift their spirits.

"A lot of them are very appreciative of the little gifts they get from us time to time," Mr Gallagher said.

"The one's who have been here for 10 years are probably expecting it, but the ones who have only been here 12 months will have a surprise."

Buns have also been donated by Bakers Delight to get clients into the Easter spirit.

Mr Gallagher said he was grateful for the ongoing support from the Tamworth City Lions Club.

"Their support has been phenomenal over the years," he said.

"They donated a heap of masks, they gave us a few hundred masks in the early stages of COVID, we used those within our own staff, volunteers and handed them out to our clients."

The Easter treats are set to be delivered to Meals on Wheels clients throughout the week.
