Yummo Petite waffles

As the temperatures continue to hover in the cool to cold range, Brisbane’s homeless community were among the first to experience the delicacy of a new range of authentic Belgium waffles on Thursday 16th July) at 139 Club’s weekly free lunch. Developed to be just like authentic Belgium waffles found at stalls and cafes dotted throughout Brussels, Petite Waffles will be some of the fare being dished up on the menu to around 100 to 150 hungry homeless individuals from Brisbane’s inner city areas who attend this week’s lunch at the day centre for the homeless. Petite Waffles, which have a wide variety of flavors, are produced using the finest imported goods such as waffle irons and pearl sugar and are set to open their first CBD retail store in September.

Tough economic times have hit our day centre for the homeless hard this year but a donation such as this from business owners creating a high end quality food product will certainly bring a smile to our lunch patrons. Petite Waffles’ co-owner, Edward Gainer wants to help build awareness about the importance of supporting the homeless during difficult economic times. “Waffles are definitely a comfort food and we are proud to be able to put them on 139 Club’s lunch time menu and support our local community,” Mr Gainer said.“The disadvantaged are often overlooked in tough times yet it is now they need our help more than ever as demand for services from 139 Club increases,” he said.
