Helping Hand
There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.
— Moses, Deuteronomy 15:11
Jesus had a huge focus on helping anyone in need, both physically and spiritually, when he was here physically on this earth. As Christians here at SWEC we desire to follow in Jesus’ example in caring for our local community.
Once per week (usually Wednesdays) we provide food hampers for those in the local community who need assistance. Our hampers mainly consist of fresh vegetables, fruit, bread and frozen meat/vegan items. We’re very appreciative of the amazing support we receive from Woolworths, Kingsgrove, who generously donate a range of food. We also receive donations and purchase food and other items from Food Bank.
All of our helpers are volunteers and work hard to serve those who could do with a helping hand in our local area.
If you could do with a food hamper please join the “Helping Hand Kingsgrove” Facebook group and simply reply with a, “Yes, please”, when hampers are ready for the week.
