Community Lunch

Shared meals create a welcoming and supportive environment for people who come to receive care and services at the Asylum Seekers Centre (ASC). Meaningful connections are made and stories are shared over a nutritious meal.

We invite people from the wider community (including corporate volunteers) to be part of our Community Lunch Program; cooking, serving and sharing lunch with people seeking asylum in our community. A great team bonding activity!
