On Saturday, April 16, 2022, with the blessing of Archbishop Makarios of Australia and under the guidance and supervision of Bishop Kyriakos of Sozopolis volunteers for the Five Loaves program distributed male and female toiletries to those in need at Dandenong Park and Launch Housing Crisis Accommodation.
More than 40 individual packs were distributed.
The volunteers dedicated time to speaking to those in need to build human connectedness.
The Five Loaves program helps people in need including the homeless and those living in crisis accommodation.
Over the past weeks of Great Lent, events have been held to help raise awareness and build donations and the volunteer base.
The Five loaves will also provide hot meals, clothing, toiletries, and sleeping apparel.
The current social and economic challenges continue to affect the lives of many and the Five Loaves program aims to multiply Christ’s light in the darkness for everyone experiencing difficulties in this situation.
