Supporting the Wider Community
Dixon House: We collect food for the Dixon House emergency food relief program.
At Christmas we collect for Christmas hampers for families in need.
Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC): Donations are collected here for the ASRC, and each month, the theme of each item varies, for instance, during April we are accepting vegetable oil.
Hope for Glen Eira: We were participants in the Hope for Glen Eira Food Drive, organised by Ormond Anglican Church.
Kids Hope: Our parish participates in Kids Hope at a local primary school, with volunteers providing one-on-one mentoring for kids at risk.
Derek and Rosemary Snibson, CMS Missionaries: We are sponsoring Derek and Rosemary Snibson who are working in the Northern Territory training Aboriginal leaders to help train others in Aboriginal communities.
