Community BBQs
Hosting a Community BBQ for St Mary’s House of Welcome’s service users is not only a great team-building exercise for your work group, but it’s a powerful, socially responsible immersion experience guaranteed to get you thinking about the way you view homelessness and the people it affects.
From providing nutritious and delicious food to offering a chance for our service users to enjoy spending time with the St Mary’s House of Welcome community, our BBQs are a key feature of our social inclusion program.
