Community

We are a non-profit volunteer organisation providing emergency relief. We assist people facing crisis, for reasons such as illness, unemployment, family violence, homelessness, and other hardship. Since 1997, we have been offering aid that includes food, clothing and financial assistance.  You do not need to be on Centrelink to receive our assistance. We also have a drop-in centre located in the same building for people looking for social interaction, lunch or a cup of tea & coffee. We have public showers available for people with no access to one.  We also have our OP Shop located just a few minutes walk from our main building.

From time to time we need volunteers to help with our programs.  Our emergency relief volunteers help clients by providing a confidential consultation, and then using our resources and referrals to provide the best assistance possible. Emergency relief volunteers are provided with training and support to be able to provide the service. We have volunteers helping at our op shop for either half day shifts or for the full day.  We also have volunteers helping at our drop in centre catering to patrons with food and conversations.

We have many volunteer roles in our organisation, such as directly assisting clients and making lunches in our drop in centre. Our organisation runs on Christian values, and we welcome everybody.
