On Christmas day, aid packages and cooked food were distributed to the needy and homeless in Melbourne.
With the encouragement and blessing of Archbishop Makarios of Australia and with the willingness of the many volunteers of the Social Relief Program, the initiative is implemented by the Archdiocese of Northcote in Victoria.
The volunteers also talked with the people who are experiencing loneliness more intensely these days, and offered them joy and companion. As they stated, these were the best Christmas they have ever experienced, as they managed to make some people happy through this initiative.
It is noted that the initiative was organized within a few days, while all participants are willing to hold such an initiative in the future.
