Food for People in Need

WHAT WE DO

Here at Mercy and Grace Ministries we open our doors to provide Food boxes to People in Need in the Community FOR FREE.  

We also support many Farmers to Help Feed their animals for Free too. Throughout the Covid disaster time, we have supplied Food Boxes to up to 200+ families each week.

TESTIMONIALS

A small portion of many beautiful blessing through Mercy and Grace Ministries Food Boxes

 Mercy and Grace Ministries came with the biggest rainbow cake a child could ask for and lots of party food. We could not believe the generosity and happiness...it also made me so grateful to see my daughter so joyful when I was not able to give as much. Our beautiful delivery angel has been the most amazing support throughout my journey dealing with difficulties after leaving an undesirable marriage - always putting a smile on all our faces! 

Young Family
     

 Our Central Coast Programs service and support vulnerable families and youth experiencing significant hardship. Throughout COVID 19 we have continued face to face support witnessing the escalation of financial difficulty in meeting basic needs. Observing a rise in difficulties to provide key staples that support physical and mental well-being and building blocks for families, children and youth.

 A young teenage man who had just moved into a little place, working on his first job, didn't have enough money for food, was hungry and exhausted was given a huge box of food. The Food Box was filled by one of our volunteers as she said "I packed the box as if I was feeding my teenage son" with goodies, energy drinks, chippies, cereal and long life milk, fruit and vege's, bread rolls, lettuce and tomatoes, meats, to make his lunches. The Lady who was helping him sent through "He passes on a huge thank you he says he is feeding up like its Christmas and is feeling so happy!!" 

Young Teenager

 Through a Local Community Group an Emergency Box was needed for a Family. The beautiful mum had written a shopping list in faith hoping it would be provided...and all in the Mercy and Grace Ministries box was what they needed including Eggs!! 

Family

 A young lady had a birthday and had only received a little vase from her beautiful friend, we were unaware of this but felt to put in her family box a beautiful bunch of flowers and a bra we were given by one of our supporting Supermarkets. When our beautiful Lady Volunteer delivered to her, she cried as she now had some flowers to put into her vase in her room, and it was her first bra. Many happy tears - amazing blessing! 

Single Family

OUR STORY

OUR STORY image
Due to some local Charities closing for the holidays at Christmas 2020, we saw a real need
and opportunity to bring both food and relationship to People who were desperately in Need in the Community.

Mercy and Grace Ministries has since progressed from then to being a supplier of food to many local community groups, individuals and families alike from many different walks of life. We are blessed to have Supermarkets on board who help make this ministry possible. It is our desire and mission that everything we give out is Free.

In the past 12 months (2022 fy), we increased the number of stores collected from and have collected, processed and distributed for Free an excess of over 220 tonnes of Food to help support our Community and Local Farmers on the Central Coast.

To those who support this ministry, through prayer, volunteering time and resources, for all the gifts, we are very thankful for them all.   Brett and Anna & the Mercy and Grace Ministries Team. 

OUR FARMERS

Our Farmers have Amazing Animals that we help support and feed here on the Central Coast. The animals help keep the not so nice food we collect out of the local Landfill and get to fill their tummies!

They rush to the back of the Ute knowing that the specials are coming - we also have a hilarious goat that can't help but get into the food as well!

To our Farmers, a big GIANT THANK YOU!!!! We are so thankful for what you do here on the Coast helping support Mercy and Grace Ministries with feeding the animals and helping our Environment!!!!

OUR FUTURE

It is Our Future Vision and Hope to Build on the Peninsula:

The Kitchen

The Kitchen will be a place where people can come and learn basic life skills in cooking and baking, utilizing basic grocery items. Also a Place where People in Need can come eat and enjoy Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner for Free.

The Laundry

The Laundry will be a place where people in need can wash and dry their clothes for Free. We hope to use commercial washing machines and dryers, using solar battery power to help offset the running costs whilst be eco friendly.

The Shelter

A Place where People in Need and those without Homes may have a bed to sleep in and shelter from the weather. A stepping stone to a place to Call Home. Working with other Community Groups to help House People in Need.
