Selfless Service in Australia

October 2020

Youth across the country are engaged in providing food and grocery hampers consisting of fruits, vegetables, condiments, non-perishables, milk and bread to families. Hot cooked meals are made daily and served to families who approach the youth, as well as weekly meal deliveries to low income residents at local caravan parks and to those without a home. Many families who are served come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, including indigenous Australian single mothers with little to no income.

 

In addition to this, the youth are providing breakfast supplies to three schools in Brisbane. The list is growing rapidly as demand for these supplies continues to increase. The supplies provided are used by the school staff to provide breakfast and lunch to students who have missed out on having these meals during school time. As always, all these services are rendered completely free of charge. The aim is to ensure that no one who approaches the volunteers goes to sleep hungry.
