CatholicCare Community Programs comprises our Community Kitchens (based in Taree, Forster, Newcastle, Hamilton South and Toronto).
Underpinning our Community Programs are the Catholic social teaching principles of dignity of the human person and the common good.
CatholicCare is committed to providing excellence in care and assistance to families, children and individuals. This extends to supporting and reaching out to the marginalised and vulnerable in our community.
Our Community Kitchens are located in Taree, Forster, Newcastle, Hamilton South and Toronto to offer practical help for people in need. To further assist the disadvantaged, this outreach program also provides information and referrals to other services in our network that may be useful for their needs.
On average, we serve approximately 800 hot and nutritious meals each week across our five locations. Working in collaboration with other agencies including Orange Sky Laundry, our team of dedicated volunteers provide food, hospitality and friendship to anyone who visits the site.
The success of our Community Kitchens is contingent on the generous support of local businesses who provide fresh produce, meat and bakery items that our volunteers use to make nutritious meals, and financial donations from the public.
