FREE Community Meal
Free community meals provided by Anglican churches are an essential outreach initiative aimed at supporting individuals and families facing food insecurity, financial stress, or social isolation. These meals offer a welcoming environment where people from all walks of life can come together to share a nutritious meal and engage in fellowship.
For example, the Anglican Church in the Sunshine Coast area offers various community food services. St Vincent de Paul provides emergency food hampers, while the Salvation Army Maroochy operates the SalConnect Cafe, offering meals and support services
Additionally, St Peters Anglican Church in Maroochydore hosts a community dinner every Friday evening, providing a space for people to enjoy a meal and connect with others
These programs are designed to cater to the homeless, people with dependencies, struggling families, asylum seekers, refugees, and anyone in need of a good meal and companionship.
These community meals not only address immediate nutritional needs but also foster a sense of belonging and support within the community. They provide an opportunity for individuals to connect, share their stories, and receive emotional and spiritual support from the church and fellow attendees.
