OVER 30 people enjoyed a free gourmet Christmas meal thanks to the kind-hearted owners and volunteers at Ipazzi Italian Restaurant.
The Christmas Day three-course meal was prepared by head chef and owner Fabio Nocera and his wife Ruby at their Noosa Junction business.
The couple said they were overwhelmed with support and donations from the community following the first Noosa Today article.
“We had an outpouring of support from the local community and had plenty of wine bottles donated,” she said.
“We’d like to thank everyone that helped make the day extra special for our Christmas guests, including St Vincent De Pauls and Meat Market owner Garry Rogers.”
One of Santa’s helpers was also able to make a surprise visit to handout gifts to the kids.
