Voluntary members visit the lonely, the sick, and the marginalised. Our goal is to bring God's love to those in need through the healing ministry of Jesus.
We focus on alleviating the impacts of poverty on individuals and families by engaging in direct, person-to-person assistance. Volunteers give their time, care and compassion to assist the most vulnerable in our community.
