Every Wednesday night, a bunch of Brisbane young adults come out to the Fortitude Valley to our Citycare Centre ( www.citycare.org.au )and put on a meal for the people that much of society have scorned and forgotten. A mixture of uni students, young professionals, stay at mums and tradies. All with a passion to help where help is needed! Ordinary people doing extraordinary things by just putting up their hand and joining the team.
Now this isnt just a soup in a cup, this is a proper homecooked meal prepared by a professional chef, served to our guests around 'the family table', on fine crockery and cutlery. The vision behind this meal is to form meaningful and supportive relationships, often a skill that our guests have all but lost as they are looked down upon and shunned everyday of thier lives.
It is beyond heartwarming to hear regular comments of 'i feel so loved here' and 'this is the closest thing to family i have ever had'. It is amazing the change we have seen in the lives that have walked through our doors.
Friendship has been found, Faith has been found, Future has been found.
To all the incredible volunteers, WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE IMPACT YOU ARE HAVING NOT ONLY ON INDIVIDUAL LIVES BUT ALSO ON HUMANITY, YOU ARE CHANGING THE WORLD!
XOXO
