Way of the West Asylum Seeker Food Assistance

In the western suburbs of Melbourne, there are many refugees and people seeking asylum who do not have enough food to eat or the means to buy it. Pope Francis has challenged the whole church to show compassion and practical care for refugees. We have decided to take up the challenge as we have done in past years and support ‘those who’ve come from across the seas’.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP?

In assisting refugees and people seeking asylum we will be living out some of the Catholic Social Teachings:

During Weeks 4 and 5 of this term, we aim to collect food and living essentials for refugees and people seeking asylum. The types of items that will be of most benefit are listed below and  your donated items will be distributed through the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) located in Footscray, which looks after the most vulnerable people in our community who do not get help from elsewhere.

Baskets will be available in each Learning Community to place the items you donate. We encourage you to buy an extra item or two in your weekly shopping to support this cause and  help us to live out the some of the Catholic Social Teachings in our community. We know that your generosity will be greatly appreciated.
